The 2023 Wimbledon championships got under way Monday, with players competing for a brand new Wimbledon prize money record.
The 2023 Wimbledon Championships has a new record total prize money fund of £44 million (€44,7000,000).
Players will compete this month for a share of the £44 million prize fund. This is a staggering 10.78% increase from last year's total prize share which was £40 million in 2022.
Wimbledon also revealed that the prize fund for both the men's and Ladies' single tournament has increased by a whopping 17.5% compared to Novak Djokovic's and Elena Rybakina's total winning prize fund last year.
The winners of this year's women's and men's single will receive £2.5million in prize money along with the prestige that comes with winning the historic tournament.
It's worth noting that in the spirit of equality, the men's and women's winners will each win the same thing.
With likes of Novak Djokovic and Iga Swatiek winning their first round matches Monday, it's important to note that the players they defeated earned £55,000.
