EXPLAINED: Wimbledon prizemoney increase post french open protest - The Real Truth

Prizemoney at Wimbledon this year has increased by 20 per cent from 2025 to a record-breaking figure of £64.2 million ($A122.7 million).

The All England Club revealed the prize pot on Thursday morning during a press conference with chair Debbie Jevans and chief executive Sally Bolton in SW19.

A group of the world's leading players staged a pre-event protest at the French Open, where media activities were limited to 15 minutes each after prizemoney only increased by 9.5 per cent from 2025 and stayed at around 15 per cent of the revenue generated from the grand slam at Roland Garros.
