The singles finalists are the only players at Wimbledon 2023 who will make more than £1 million ($1.3m) from their runs in one competition in SW19, landing the largest individual payouts by a distance at the third tennis grand slam of the year.
Money is unlikely to be first on the minds of whoever takes home the trophies from the UK major, but the champions also have the reward of earning twice as much as their opponents in the showpieces.
The total prize money this time around is an 11.2% increase on last year’s tournament and 17.1% more than Wimbledon 2019.

Wimbledon 2023 final prize money
Despite the despair of losing at the last hurdle, the finalists are also handsomely remunerated for their part in the final weekend of action.
They take home around £1.2m ($1.4m), going some way to softening the blow of being beaten with the trophy tantalisingly close.
What is the total prize money for Wimbledon 2023?
The All England Club announced that the total prize fund for the 2023 edition of Wimbledon will be £44,700,000 ($56,600,000) — a record amount for the tournament.
Areas in which prize money has been significantly upped include the qualifying stage, in which the overall winnings are up nearly 15%. First-round losers earned £55,000 ($72,000) – a 10% increase on last year’s earnings at the same stage.
After the announcement regarding prize money at Wimbledon in 2023 was made, Chairman of the All England Club Ian Hewitt said: “Our ambition with this distribution is to return the singles champions and runners-up prize money to the levels in 2019 prior to the pandemic, alongside providing deserved support for players in the early rounds of the event.”
