Here's how much money the Wimbledon 2025 winners and runner-ups earn
The 2025 edition of Wimbledon is all set to conclude today at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in Wimbledon, London, England, with the men's singles final event featuring Jannik Sinner and two-time defending champion Carlos Alcaraz. Wimbledon has long been regarded as one of the most iconic and prestigious tournaments in tennis—or even in sports history—not just because of the level of history it carries with it, but also how the event rewards its players. While the winner, runner-up and semi-finalists are usually the ones walking away with big money, any player who even qualifies for the main draw does not go unrewarded either. So, to give a deeper perspective, we have broken down a detailed report of how a player will earn at Wimbledon 2025 based on their performance in the event. Champion to Take Home a Record £3 Million (Approx. ₹32.25 Crore) The winner of the Wimbledon 2025 final between Sinner and Alcaraz will receive a massive £3,000,000 in prize money, which converts to approximately ₹32.25 crore. This marks one of the highest single paydays in tennis, maintaining Wimbledon's status as the most lucrative Grand Slam. Runner-Up to Receive £1.52 Million (Approx. ₹16.34 Crore) Whoever between Sinner and Alcaraz loses at Centre Court today will still walk away with an impressive £1,520,000, or around ₹16.34 crore. Although falling just short of the title, the runner-up prize ensures that top performances deep into the tournament remain financially rewarding and motivating for elite-level athletes. Semi-Finalists Earn £775,000 Each (Approx. ₹8.32 Crore) Novak Djokovic and Taylor Fritz, whose journeys ended in the semi-finals of Wimbledon 2025, will not go unrewarded either, as each semi-finalist is awarded £775,000, which equals roughly ₹8.32 crore. This substantial figure highlights how even reaching the penultimate round guarantees players a strong return on their performance. Quarter-Finalists to Pocket £400,000 Each (Approx. ₹4.3 Crore) Reaching the quarter-final stage will earn players a cheque of £400,000, equivalent to about ₹4.3 crore. These players typically face top seeds and deliver thrilling tennis to packed stadiums. While not reaching the semis, quarter-finalists often play a major role in shaping the tournament narrative. Round of 16 Participants Earn £240,000 (Approx. ₹2.58 Crore) Players who make it to the Round of 16 will receive £240,000 each, translating to around ₹2.58 crore. This round is usually the turning point in the tournament where the top contenders begin to emerge and the level of competition intensifies. Third Round (R32) Entrants Paid £152,000 (Approx. ₹1.63 Crore) Those who reach the third round—also known as the Round of 32—will earn £152,000, or approximately ₹1.63 crore. For many rising stars or lower-ranked players, making it to this stage is a career milestone, and the financial reward provides further incentive to push deep into Slam draws. Second Round (R64) Finishers Get £99,000 (Approx. ₹1.06 Crore) Even players who exit in the second round are rewarded handsomely, receiving £99,000—roughly ₹1.06 crore. This prize supports a wide range of players, including journeymen and qualifiers, by helping cover costs associated with travel, coaching and equipment. First Round (R128) Participants Take Home £66,000 (Approx. ₹7.1 Lakh) All main-draw participants at Wimbledon 2025 are guaranteed a minimum payout of £66,000, or about ₹7.1 lakh. This ensures that even those who exit early receive a respectable sum for qualifying and competing on one of tennis's biggest stages. Full list of prize money for competitors at Wimbledon 2025: Round Prize Money Champion £3,000,000 Finalist £1,520,000 Semi-finalist £775,000 Quarter-finalist £400,000 R16 £240,000 R32 £152,000 R64 £99,000 R128 £66,000

Tennis-Tough to digest double bagel, but Anisimova takes positives despite Wimbledon final nightmare
Jul 12, 2025; Wimbledon, United Kingdom; Amanda Anisimova of the United States returns a shot during the women's final match against Iga Swiatek of Poland on day 13 at All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club. Mandatory Credit: Susan Mullane-Imagn Images LONDON (Reuters) -There were two so-called 'double bagels' at this year's Wimbledon -- the term used to describe a match ending 6-0 6-0 -- and American Amanda Anisimova starred in both. The first one launched the 23-year-old on the path to her first Grand Slam final as she thrashed Yulia Putintseva. Sadly for her, she was on the receiving end of the second and it came at the worst possible time. In front of a sweltering Centre Court crowd and millions of television viewers in Saturday's final, her hopes of winning the title evaporated in 57 cruel minutes as she was put through the wringer by Poland's Iga Swiatek. The only other time a Wimbledon singles final was decided by a 6-0 6-0 scoreline was in 1911 when Dorothea Lambert Chambers beat fellow British player Dora Boothby. Before Saturday, it had happened only once at any of the other Grand Slam finals, in 1988 when Steffi Graf demolished Natasha Zvereva in 34 minutes at the French Open. At least Anisimova almost stretched it to an hour. It is customary in tennis finals these days for the runner-up to say a few words before the champion. Anisimova probably wished Centre Court would open up and swallow her as she answered questions from former British player Annabel Croft, managing to hold herself together enough to say a few coherent words through the tears. Later, in the relative sanctuary of the media conference room, she was reflective as she spoke of how she had been frozen by nerves in the biggest match of her career. "It was tough to digest, it's not how I would have wanted my first Grand Slam final to go, I think I was in shock afterwards. It's not an easy thing to go through, losing 0 and 0." A sense of perspective is perhaps easier for a player who was marked out as a future Grand Slam champion as a teenager but who needed to step away from the game for eight months in 2023 as she struggled with burnout and mental health issues. Last year she did not even feature here, losing in the third round of qualifying when she was ranked 189th. So despite how it ended, Anisimova preferred to try and take the positives from a run that included a scintillating semi-final win against world number one Aryna Sabalenka. "I feel like the last two weeks, if anything, what I've learned it was you're never going to be perfect, and every match is different," Anisimova said. "My fighting spirit has gotten me to the final of today. It wasn't me playing perfect in a way. There were matches where I struggled and I wasn't playing to my full potential. I think me just staying focused and fighting my way through certain moments and lifting myself up and trying to not get negative on myself was the most important thing. "I think that's really what got me to the final." (Reporting by Martyn Herman, editing by Pritha Sarkar)

Towel thief Swiatek gets personalised Wimbledon souvenir
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox Jul 12, 2025; Wimbledon, United Kingdom; Iga Swiatek of Poland speaks at the trophy presentation after winning the women's final match against Amanda Anisimova of the United States on day 13 at All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club. Mandatory Credit: Susan Mullane-Imagn Images LONDON - During the Wimbledon fortnight, a grinning Iga Swiatek was often caught on camera cramming dozens of official towels into her tennis bags, creating a running joke that 'Wimbledon's towel thief strikes again!' On Saturday, Wimbledon marked her love of the towels by presenting the new champion with a personalised purple and green version -- one that can never be taken away from her. After her 6-0 6-0 thrashing of Amanda Anisimova in the final, Swiatek completed her media duties and then posed for a picture holding up a towel that had the words "Property of Iga Swiatek, Wimbledon Champion" emblazoned on it. "This one's for keeps," Wimbledon posted on X, alongside a picture of a beaming Swiatek. Swiatek had said following her opening round victory that tennis players loved their towels. "It's a topic no one ever talks about," she said. "Every time I come back from a Grand Slam I have like 10 friends and 10 family members wanting towels. So, sorry guys. Sorry Wimbledon. I don't know if I'm supposed to do that." REUTERS Top stories Swipe. Select. Stay informed.

Princess Kate serves in white look, sits next to Billie Jean King at Wimbledon
Princess Kate served during her royal return to Wimbledon. In a chic white ensemble, Kate attended the Saturday, July 12, match of the ladies' singles final at the Wimbledon Championships at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in London. The Princess of Wales was seated next to American tennis great Billie Jean King for the affair and received an emotional welcome from the crowd. In an X video shared by the tennis tournament, tennis royalty met British royalty as Kate shook hands with King upon her arrival and appeared gleeful to watch the much-anticipated match while receiving a standing ovation. Princess Kate dazzles in Dior alongside Prince William "Centre Court rises to give a warm welcome to our Patron HRH The Princess of Wales," Wimbledon's post reads. In the clip, Kate turned heads in a white top with a belt and pockets paired with a cream pleated skirt, a nod to the princess's favored monochrome wardrobe. 'Great to be back at @Wimbledon!' Her Wimbledon appearance comes after she said earlier this month that she put on a "brave face" throughout and following her cancer treatment last year, detailing the ordeal as a life-changing experience. "You put on a sort of brave face, stoicism through treatment. Treatment's done, then it's like, 'I can crack on, get back to normal,' but actually the phase afterwards is really, really difficult," Kate said during a visit to Colchester Hospital in Essex, located in southeast England, on Wednesday, July 2. Princess Kate says life after cancer is a 'roller coaster' The 43-year-old wife of Prince William, first in line to the British throne, announced in March last year that she would undergo a course of chemotherapy, weeks after her father-in-law, King Charles III, announced his own cancer diagnosis. In January, she announced her cancer was in remission after an appearance at the hospital where she was treated. While slowly reemerging into royal life, the Princess of Wales, 42, made a rare appearance last year during the men's singles final at Wimbledon, where she flashed a big smile as she arrived and waved to the crowd. The princess wore a purple Safiyaa dress with a ruched bodice and carried a tan bag, accessorizing with gold jewelry. She also donned her signature purple-and-green striped bow, the official colors of the All England Club, of which she is a patron. The pit stop marked one of her only public appearances in 2024. "Great to be back at @Wimbledon!" Kate shared on Instagram. "There's nothing quite like The Championships." Contributing: Staff and wire reports, Brendan Morrow

The Wimbledon quarter-finals proceed on Day 10 of The Championships at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in London, as leading players Jannik Sinner, Novak Djokovic strive to clinch highly sought-after semi-final berth. Novak Djokovic pursues a historic 25th Grand Slam crown as he faces Italy's Flavio Cobolli, while Poland's Iga Swiatek strives to defeat Liudmila Samsonova. At the same time, Jannik Sinner enters his quarter-final clash managing an injury. Cobolli, who holds just two clay-court titles on the ATP Tour, has impressed with his swift adaptation to grass. His emergence poses a serious challenge to the seasoned Djokovic, threatening to halt the veteran's run just short of another major triumph. Sinner reached the quarter-finals after Grigor Dimitrov was forced to retire early from their fourth-round clash with a pectoral injury. However, Sinner's own momentum was hindered by an elbow injury sustained during a fall. American Ben Shelton, having been defeated in their last five encounters, sees this quarter-final as a prime chance to secure his first Wimbledon semi-final berth. As per reports, he stated, 'When I get to the big tournaments, I'm more confident about getting in the second week and having deep runs because I've done it a lot.' Wimbledon 2025 matches will be live-streamed in India via the JioHotstar app and website. Additionally, fans can catch the matches on TV through the Star Sports Network channels. The tournament will be broadcast live on the BBC in the UK, with comprehensive coverage available on BBC One, BBC Two, BBC iPlayer, and the BBC Sport website. TNT Sports will feature a daily 90-minute highlights show and provide live coverage of both singles finals.
