Wimbledon 2023 announced that it will distribute 44,700,000 pounds sterling to all participants in different categories, 11 percent more than the previous edition. They are 52 million euros, a record that exceeds the almost 50 distributed this season at the Australian Open and Roland Garros.
In the pot, 16,077,000 pounds is only equal to the men’s individual absolute tournament. About 19 ‘kilo’ euros.
The All England Club-based tournament claimed before it began that it had never had such a high prize money. More money for tennis players as a whole, not for the shiny new champion.
Carlos Alcaraz He got a check for 2,350,000 pounds, 2.7 million euros. The same check received by dethroned Novak Djokovic in 2019, the last edition before the coronavirus epidemic, which caused the cancellation of 2020.
In any case, a larger amount than the Serbian received months ago in Melbourne (2,000,000) and Paris (2,300,000), as well Carlos Alcaraz at the 2022 US Open (2,600,000). Grand Slams regain the pulse of the economy after covid.
For the Serbian finalist, 1,175,000 pounds, stroking 1.4 million euros. Even that won’t soothe the Balkans, who are crumbling Murcian
Alcaraz he accumulated 16,660,732, he is approaching the mark of 20. Before London, his best haul was the million for winning the Mutua Madrid Open. At Roland Garros, as a semifinalist, he entered with 630,000 euros. Always gross amounts, before taxes. His first Grand Slam victory, in New York, was rewarded with 2,600.00 euros.
Djokovic keep increasing your stock. No one has won more than him on the men’s professional circuit. He arrived in London with $169,762,762 (official ATP money for this type of record), easily surpassing the 170 barrier.
With the amounts managed by the top tennis players, which increase significantly in sponsorships, exhibitions or fixed participation, there is nothing better as an elite athlete than lifting the Wimbledon trophy, dating back to 1887 and recorded with an inscription that it was delivered ” to the World Champion”.
This silver piece contains the names of all the champions, so in 2009 it was necessary to add a plaque to continue to register the list of winners. A master jeweler records it as the last point of the final is played.
