Wimbledon 2025 prize money: How much does the winner get? Do men and women get paid the same?

Wimbledon 2025 is underway at the iconic All England Lawn Tennis Club with Emma Raducanu and Carlos Alcaraz both safely through to the second round.

Alcaraz is the favourite to win another Wimbledon title after an iconic victory over Jannik Sinner at the French Open. Novak Djokovic and London’s Jack Draper are also among the men’s players tipped to contend.

Aryna Sabalenka, Elena Rybakina, Coco Gauff and Iga Swiatek are the four women tipped to go furthest into the tournament. The Ladies’ singles final will take place on July 12 with the men’s singles to follow a day later.

This year their is a record prize pot on offer for those competing at Wimbledon, with £53,500,000 to split across all the competitors depending how far they make it into the tournament.

It represents a huge jump from 2021, when the prize total sat at just over £35m. In 2022 it moved to just north of £40m before increasing to £44.7m in 2023. A big increase to £50m occurred in 2024 with that figure on the rise again.

How much does the Wimbledon 2025 winner get?

The winner of the men’s and ladies’ singles will pocket £3m each if they triumph on the iconic courts of SW19 while the runner up will receive a total of £1.52m. Beaten semi-finalists will land £775k while competitors who reach the last eight earn £400k each.

The prize totals stay in six figures for those who reach the fourth and third rounds, with a respective £240k and £152k on offer. £99k is awarded to players who reach the second round while £66k will be earned for just reaching the first round.

Alcaraz won the the men’s singles title last year while Barbora Krejčíková was victorious in the ladies’ singles to clinch her second major title.

Are men and women winners paid the same at Wimbledon 2025?

Yes, both Wimbledon 2025 singles champions will receive the same prize money with the distribution throughout the tournament equal. Historically, men had been paid more but in 2007 the change was made to bring the prize pots in line.

“The time is right to bring this subject to a logical conclusion and eliminate the difference,” said All England Club Chair Tim Phillips at the time.

“Tennis is one of the few sports in which women and men compete in the same event at the same time.

“We believe our decision to offer equal prize money provides a boost for the game as a whole and recognizes the enormous contribution that women players make to the game and to Wimbledon.

"We hope it will also encourage girls who want a career in sport to choose tennis as their best option. In short, good for tennis, good for women players and good for Wimbledon.”

The men and ladies singles take up almost £39m of the Wimbledon prize fund with the other money going to those who reach the qualifying rounds, those competing in various doubles and wheelchair tournaments at SW19.
