Wimbledon 2018 prize money revealed: How much will stars pocket at SW19?

The Wimbledon prize pot has been given an extra £2.4million to share among the creme de la creme of tennis.

Despite the £34m available to the tennis stars, the eye-watering amount pales in comparison to other Grand Slams – with the French Open handing out £34.33m and last year’s US Open giving £37.56m to the athletes.

A new rule for this year is to cut out players pulling out at the last minute, or early in the first round, just to pocket cash.

Anyone who makes a late withdrawal through injury ahead of the first round will only get half of the money, with the other 50 per cent going to their replacement.
