Wimbledon announced on Thursday that the total prize money for the 2022 Championships will be a record 40.3 million pounds (USD 50.5 million) and host capacity crowds at this year’s event for the first time in three years.
Organizers said the men’s and women’s singles champions would each receive £2 million.
Ranking points for the grasscourt Grand Slam event, to be held from 27 June to 10 July, were stripped of the men’s ATP and women’s WTA after it opted to exclude players from Russia and Belarus following the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
All England Club President Ian Hewitt said: “From the first round of the qualifying competition to becoming champions, this year’s prize money distribution aims to show how important players are to the championship…”.
Last year’s total prize money was a little over £35 million, with Novak Djokovic and Ash Barty taking home £1.7 million after becoming champions.
