The 2024 edition of Wimbledon certainly isn’t without its fair share of speculation, but one thing is for certain — the players will walk away with more prize money than ever before. Now it’s simply a matter of determining who, and how much.
In terms of the “who,” the Men’s Singles have been plagued with questions surrounding the tournament’s seven-time champion: Novak Djokovic. More specifically, questions about his health.
The ageing Big Three player underwent surgery to repair his torn meniscus during last month’s French Open. And given the recent gruelling four-set showdown against British wild card Jacob Fearnley, it’s clear that (through no fault of his own), Djoker is still recovering.

The current betting favourites are none other than Jannik Sinner, who enters Wimbledon 2024 as the world’s top-ranked player, and defending tournament champion Carlos Alcaraz, who recently notched yet another major victory at this year’s French Open. Novak Djokovic, on the other hand, follows closely behind the young guns despite the aforementioned concerns regarding his form.
For the Women’s Singles, former world #1 Aryna Sabalenka leads as the betting favourite (at the time of writing) with yet another French Open champion in Iga Swiatek trailing closely behind. Kazakhstan’s Elena Rybakina and American talent Coco Gauff are also in the conversation.
As for the how much…

Wimbledon Prize Money (2024)
Both men’s and women’s Grand Slam champions are on track to earn a hefty £2,700,000 (AU$5,120,000) each — for reference, that’s 14.9% more than the prize money pocketed by Carlos Alcaraz and then-unseeded Czech talent Marketa Vondrousova in 2023.
The runner-ups will also have the blow of defeat softened by a generous sum of £1,400,000 (AU$2,650,000), which itself is a 19.1% improvement from last year’s compensation.
As mentioned earlier, the All England Club is once again offering a record amount of prize money for the 2024 edition of Wimbledon: £50,000,000 (AU$94,800,000) in total this time around.
