Wimbledon increases prize money after players called for improvements in revenue distribution

Wimbledon is upping the ante this year with a 7% boost in prize money, bringing the total pot to a hefty £53.5 million (about $72.59 million). The All England Club made the announcement Thursday, marking a near-doubling of the prize fund since 2015. This comes after players pushed for a fairer slice of the tournament's growing revenue pie.
