Inside Wimbledon's gender pay gap almost two decades after equal pay pledge
Wimbledon 2025 has finally arrived and with the news of star athlete, Emma Raducanu, staying in the competition despite her injuries, we were curious to see whether the gender pay gap for tennis players still stands - and the results are still shocking. In the competition's most recent study from 2023, Wimbledon's gender pay gap report states that only in the Upper Middle Quartile pay band are there more women employed than men, meaning that in the remaining three quarters, women continue to miss out in both opportunity and pay. The report also states the gender bonus pay gap to have a median of 25 percent, with four percent of women not receiving bonuses compared to their male counterparts. Women's Tennis Association create 'space safe' for players undergoing fertility treatment With female athletes bringing in new viewership, brand deals and fashion trends that boost the British economy, it's a surprise that not much has changed since the 2017 gap of 25 percent. The mean pay gap - which showed the average hourly pay of men to be 10 percent more than for women - has unfortunately widened since 2021. Though still an improvement from the 25 percent "recorded when reporting began in 2017," both "median and mean gender bonus gaps have narrowed," reports AELTC. It is interesting to note that in 2023, even the one percent difference between 'mid point' men and women employees and athletes creates a huge difference in pay, especially considering 2025's overall increase of prize funds being a total of 8.2 percent more than 2024. For more stories like this subscribe to our weekly newsletter, The Weekly Gulp, for a curated roundup of trending stories, poignant interviews, and viral lifestyle picks from The Mirror's Audience U35 team delivered straight to your inbox. The £300,000 addition to last years £2.7 million, won by singles winners Carlos Alcaraz and Barbora Krejcikova, brings on a new incentive to double-down on better pay for female athletes further down the leader board. Though the prize funds appear to match throughout the competition, we must ask at what percentage does this include female athletes, considering the ratio they are hired at. The prize fund up for grabs, now standing at a shocking £3 million, follows the 2024 win which saw Barbora Krejcikova rewarded a matching £2.7 million for her singles title - a positive progression from 2022. In DiversityLink 's article claiming Wimbledon 's initial promised to "end to gender pay gap," legendary player John McEnroe said: "I think when you've got men and women playing at the same tournament, it is ludicrous to have a difference in pay. It would be setting an example to the rest of society in general to have equal prize money. There's probably no other sport, and very few professions in this world, where a woman can earn as much as a man". However, this appears to have come after the 2006 matches won by Roger Federer and Amelie Mauresmo, the former earning £30,000 more than his female equal. It is clear to see that in 2025, Wimbledon has still a far way to go in improving conditions and pay for its female talent. Help us improve our content by completing the survey below. We'd love to hear from you!

Wimbledon heatwave statement, new rule and fresh protocols amid sweltering start
Wimbledon started on Monday amid soaring temperatures in south west London and the All England Lawn Tennis Club have implemented a new approach to combatting the heat Wimbledon has begun at the All England Lawn Tennis Club in south west London, with thousands of tennis fans descending on the site for some world-class tennis. This year they have come prepared with sun hats, sun cream and plenty of water, with the south east of England experiencing its second heatwave of the summer. Temperatures could reach 34 degrees in London on Monday, meaning it could be one of the hottest ever days in June. It is already provisionally the hottest start to Wimbledon ever, while the highest temperature ever recorded at the Grand Slam could be threatened, with the Met Office putting amber weather warnings in place. The hot weather makes a change from the frequent wet starts to the tournament in SW19, but it does also present some challenges for organisers. Here Mirror Sport takes a look over the plans in place, including a new rule. Wimbledon's advice Chief executive Sally Bolton said: "Obviously it's a very warm day. The first obvious point to make is that the athletes compete in temperatures like this all year on the tour. For us Brits here at the championships it feels very hot. We do have the heat rule available to us, which is well used on the tour." She added: "For colleagues working around the grounds we've got plenty of changes in shift patterns to make sure they're getting regular breaks. "And for the guests that will be joining us we're offering the same advice as lots of the medical professionals – come prepared, bring a hat, wear sunscreen, wear light clothing if you can, take breaks out of the sun.' Heat rule This year players will be allowed to request a 10-minute break if the temperature is over 30.1 degrees. Championships referee Denise Parnell explained: 'The heat rule will apply to all singles events at the Qualifying and Main Draw for The Championships 2025. These are the Gentlemen's Singles, Ladies' Singles, Boys' Singles, Girls' Singles, Gentlemen's Wheelchair Singles, Ladies' Wheelchair Singles, and Quad Wheelchair Singles. 'It allows a 10-minute break when the Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) is at or above 30.1 degrees Celsius. It applies to all matches including those which have already started. Only one of the players participating in the match needs to request the break for the rule to be implemented. 'The rule will apply after the second set for all best of three set matches, and after the third for all best of five set matches. Players may leave the court during the break, but they may not receive coaching or medical treatment. 'The heat index is a measure, which factors together the air temperature, the humidity and the surface temperature and is measured by a heat stress monitor. The WBGT readings are taken 30 minutes prior to the start of play and then at 14.00 and 17.00. 'If there is a change in weather conditions and the rule is lifted, those matches already in progress will be completed with the rule in place. 'The heat rule will not apply to matches played under the roofs. In addition, if a match is carried over to a following day when the heat rule is in place, then it will not apply to any best of three set match that has completed one set, or to any best of five set match that has completed two sets.' Hot weather measures Wimbledon have planned for the hot weather and implemented some new things for this year's tournament. First of all, there are more water stations than ever on site, with over 100 places where spectators can refill their bottles for free. Over 6,700 reusable bottles have been issued to staff. There are Met Office staff onsite too, with weather updates being displayed on the big screens and via SMS messages to staff. The staff are working rotating shifts, which means they won't be stood in the sun for long, while ball boys and girls have neck coverings on their caps and cooling scarves. There are plenty of medical professionals around, ready to help anyone struggling in the heat, and there are an increased number of shaded areas this year.

Oliver Tarvet sets up potential Carlos Alcaraz clash at Wimbledon – but will miss out on prize money
British qualifier Oliver Tarvet continued his dream Wimbledon debut with a first-round victory – and he could face defending champion Carlos Alcaraz next. The 21-year-old San Diego University student is ranked down at 733 but he took full advantage of a wild card into qualifying by winning three matches to earn his place at the All England Club. And he looked right at home on the lawns of SW19, producing an assured performance to claim a 6-4 6-4 6-4 win over fellow qualifier Leandro Riedi from Switzerland. The win is very likely to mean a crack at Alcaraz in the second round – but most of his prize money, which is now a guaranteed £99,000, is set to go unclaimed. Tarvet is planning to go back to university in the United States for his final year, and the rules of the National Collegiate Athletic Association, which runs college sports, requires players to stay amateur. Tarvet can claim 10,000 US dollars (approximately £7,300) as well as the expenses he has incurred during the tournament. He joked he would fly his coach over first class to try to ensure he would not have to forfeit too much of the money. There was no mistaking the joy Tarvet felt at his achievement, though. The St Albans player punched the air with a wide smile plastered on his face after serving out the victory. Speaking on the BBC, Tarvet said: 'There's a lot of emotions, just really overjoyed. All the hard work I put in the last few years has clearly paid off. 'It's my first tour-level event, to come out here, come through qualifying, win a first-round match, have a chance to play maybe Carlos on Wednesday, it's just a dream come true.' On the prize money issue, he said: 'I've got to find more and more on expenses by the day. We'll see. I'm not here for the money, 'I'm here for the crowd and the experience and just to stamp my mark. I think I've done a pretty good job so far.'
