Wimbledon announces record $73M prize fund and $4M for singles champions

Wimbledon's prize money has risen to a record 53.5 million pounds (about $73 million) and the singles champions will each earn three million pounds ($4 million), All England Club officials announced on Thursday. The total amount is 3.5 million pounds ($6.8 million) more than last year, an increase of 7% and exactly twice the pot handed out to competitors at the grass-court Grand Slam 10 years ago. We're immensely proud of the fact that if you look back 10 years, you can see the increase over that period and 7% this year, All England chair Deborah Jevans said. And we have listened to the players, we have engaged with the players. The 2025 winners' checks represent an 11.1% jump on last year's prizes for the men's and women's singles champions and comes amid growing player demands for a bigger share of grand slam profits. Players who lose in the first round of singles will get 66,000 pounds, up 10% year on year. The focus on just the prize money at four events, the Grand Slams, doe

French Open: Sinner wins his 19th consecutive Grand Slam tie, into the SF

Top-ranked Jannik Sinner's overpowering run through the French Open moved into the semifinals with a 6-1, 7-5, 6-0 victory over No. 62 Alexander Bublik on Wednesday. Sinner, who lost to champion Carlos Alcaraz in the final four at Roland-Garros a year ago, needed just 1 hour, 49 minutes to advance against Bublik, who upset No. 5 Jack Draper in the previous round. Not only hasn't Sinner ceded a set yet, he only has dropped a total of 36 games through five matches over the past 1 1/2 weeks. And he played clean-as-can-be tennis against Bublik who was making his major quarterfinal debut with 31 winners to just 13 unforced errors. Next for Sinner is a semifinal Friday against either 24-time major champion Novak Djokovic or No. 3 Alexander Zverev, the 2024 runner-up in Paris. The other men's semifinal will be No. 2 Alcaraz against No. 8 Lorenzo Musetti. They won their quarterfinals Tuesday. Sinner, 23, is a three-time Grand Slam champion.

2022 Wimbledon finalist Nick Kyrgios to miss the tournament this year

Nick Kyrgios, the Wimbledon runner-up in 2022, will miss the Grand Slam tournament and the rest of the grass-court season, he said on Tuesday. The 30-year-old Australian has dealt with injuries in recent seasons, including wrist and knee operations. He's played only five singles matches in 2025, going 1-4. His most recent tournament was the Miami Open in March, when he won a match for the first time in nearly 2 1/2 years. I've hit a small setback in my recovery and unfortunately won't make it back for grass season this year, Kyrgios posted. He's ranked 633rd. He was as high as 13th in 2016. Three years ago at the All England Club, he made his best run at a major tournament by getting to the final before losing to Novak Djokovic. Wimbledon begins on June 30.
