No Russian or Belarusian players, no points distributed... but a nice jackpot.
This Wimbledon 2022 offers an enticing picture despite a tense context against a backdrop of conflict between the organizers of the London Grand Slam on one side and the ATP and WTA on the other.
The prize money record is certainly no stranger to it.
It amounts to approximately 47 million euros, an increase of 11.1% compared to 2021.
58,000 euros for a defeat in the 1st round

This year, the winners of the two tournaments will pocket approximately 2.3 million euros.
It is more than at Roland-Garros (2.2 million euros) or at the Australian Open (1.8 million euros).
A defeat in the first round earns 58,000 euros.

Grants are gradually increasing.
Richard Gasquet, beaten in the 3rd round by Botic van de Zandschulp, was thus entitled to around 140,000 euros.
