The winner of the 2025 Wimbledon men’s singles final will earn £3 million. That’s roughly $4.07 million based on current exchange rates. It’s the biggest first-place prize in the tournament’s 147-year history.
The total prize pool this year is £53.5 million, equivalent to approximately $72.6 million. That’s a seven percent increase from 2024.
“We have listened to the players. We have engaged with the players,” AELTC chair Deborah Jevans said on June 12, per ESPN. “But the focus on just the prize money at the four events, the Grand Slams, does not get to the heart of what the challenge is with tennis.
“The challenge with tennis is the fact that the players don’t have an offseason, which they want; they have increasing injuries that they’re speaking about.”
Sinner vs. Alcaraz For Men’s Wimbledon Final
The final is set. No. 1 Jannik Sinner vs. No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz. A rematch of last month’s French Open final that Alcaraz won in five sets. He went on to win the title. Now he’s back at Wimbledon, where he’s the two-time defending champion.
On Friday, Alcaraz beat Taylor Fritz in four sets — 6-4, 5-7, 6-3, 7-6 (6) — to reach his third straight Wimbledon final. He used his full range of shots, adjusted mid-match and played his game when it mattered. Fritz capped off his impressive tournament strong, but Alcaraz closed the door in the tiebreak with big serving and better variety.
Sinner took out Novak Djokovic in straight sets, 6-3, 6-3, 6-4. He broke serve early, controlled most of the rallies and kept Djokovic off balance the entire match. It ended Djokovic’s bid for an eighth Wimbledon title and a 25th major overall. Sinner never blinked.
Alcaraz has never lost a Grand Slam final. He’s 5-0 in those matches and 14-1 in five-setters overall. He’s dropped at least one set in four of his six matches at Wimbledon this year but keeps finding answers.
Against Fritz in the semifinals, he served well and was able to keep himself in control as he does so well. Even against an elite rival like Sinner, that skill set will be tough to stop.
Sinner beat Djokovic in the semis and has looked sharp since the fourth round, when he briefly struggled with his elbow. That’s no longer an issue. He’s been dominant on serve, hitting his spots and landing his first serve at a high rate.
This is Sinner’s first Wimbledon final. He hasn’t beaten Alcaraz since 2023 in the China Open semifinal, but came close at Roland Garros, even holding match points. He’s currently looking sharper at Wimbledon. If he keeps Alcaraz on the back foot and returns well, he’ll have a real chance to reject Alcaraz’s hat trick.
Full Breakdown of Wimbledon 2025 Prize Money
Runner-up gets £1.5 million. That’s about $2 million. Last year’s finalist made £1.4 million, so this is a slight increase. The money throughout the draw is up across the board. First-round losers in singles earn £66,000. Mixed doubles champions take home £135,000. Wheelchair singles winners earn £68,000.
Wimbledon now has the second-highest Grand Slam prize pool behind only the US Open, which paid out $75 million in 2024. The French Open and Australian Open are slightly behind.
There’s no doubt the stakes are massive. Title. History. Momentum. And the biggest payday Wimbledon has ever offered. Either way, one of these two stars are going to walk off Centre Court a champion — with £3 million to show for it.
