The winners of the men’s and women’s competitions will earn £2.7m each, an increase of almost 15 per cent. This only reflects the growing popularity of tennis globally and is a clear signal that it is one of the most popular sports on the planet.

The upcoming edition of Wimbledon will be held from July 1 to 14. The title will be defended by Carlos Alcaraz, and the performance of Novak Djokovic is still uncertain.
