Total prize money at this year’s Wimbledon will increase by 7 per cent to a record £53.5m.
The prize pot, worth £50m in 2024, is double the £26.5m on offer in 2015.
Carlos Alcaraz and Barbora Krejcikova each took home £2.7m for winning the men’s and women’s singles titles respectively last year.
This year’s winners will receive £3m, an increase of 11 per cent.
Players knocked out in the first round will receive £66,000, an increase of 10 per cent.
There will be a 4 per cent increase for the men’s and women’s doubles winners, who will earn £680,000, and a 3 per cent increase for the mixed doubles winners, to £135,000.
The All England Lawn Tennis Club also confirmed the full introduction of live electronic line calling.
The technology, trialled in part last year, will end Wimbledon’s 147-year use of line judges.
More than 400 cameras have been installed across the courts.
