The Wimbledon Championship enters the final four stage in both the men’s and women’s competitions later this week. It’s one of the biggest stages in the world of sport and the world’s best players are taking part.
The men’s singles tournament will see Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic facing off in the first semi-final, while Taylor Fritz and Carlos Alcaraz will contest the other. The winners of those two games will compete in the final on Sunday, July 13.
In the women’s side Aryna Sabalenka and Amanda Anisimova will play with first semi-final, leaving Belinda Bencic and Iga Swiatek in the second match. The final will be held on Saturday, July 12.
They will be competing for perhaps the most prestigious honor in tennis, the Wimbledon single’s championship. But the winners will also bag a significant financial prize from the competition. The total prize pot for 2025 has risen to £53.55 ($72.78 million); here’s how that breaks down...
The winner of both the men’s and women’s competitions will receive a £3 million ($4 million) top prize. The runner-up will get £1.5 million ($2 million) after contesting the final. All of the four semi-finalists have already bagged a minimum of £775,000 ($1.05 million) for making it to the final four stage of their respective competitions.
Aside from the cash prize, players who make it to the Wimbledon final can also expect to earn significant amounts in sponsorship income off the back of success at the high-profile tournament. Roger Federer, the most successful player in Wimbledon history, secured lucrative deals with the likes of Mercedes-Benz and Rolex, earning him $86 million in endorsements in 2019 alone. That made him, by a huge distance, the ‘King of Athlete Endorsements’ at the time.
But for the eight players still in the hunt at the All England Club this week, on-court triumph is all that matter. Seven-time champion Novak Djokovic said exactly that after his hard-fought victory over Flavio Cobolli on Wednesday.
Djokovic said: “Wimbledon will always be the most special tournament we have in our sport, in my opinion and many other players’ opinions. It means the world to me that at 38 I am able to play in the final stages of Wimbledon.”
