Despite being in its 138th year, Wimbledon only continues to get bigger each year, and that is certainly reflected in the increasing prize money on offer. It wasnt until 2007 that the prize for the womens singles title was made the same as the mens, but now that it is both winners can expect to receive £1.88m for victory this year, a record in professional tennis. Overall, there will be a mammoth £26.75m distributed to all players. The mens and womens doubles winners will receive £325,000, the mixed doubles winners £96,000, while the players who exit the singles competitions in the first round can expect to be consoled for their early departure with a cheque for £29,000.
