Who are the favourites?
Wimbledon can always spell an upset, and there are plenty of contenders for this year’s singles titles.
Last month’s French Open saw both singles events sport a final between the No.1 and No. 2 seeds — the first time that has happened at Roland Garros since 1984.
Carlos Alcaraz fought from behind and outlasted Jannik Sinner to take the men’s trophy, while Coco Gauff won her first French Open title by beating Aryna Sabalenka.
You’d be bold to bet again those four making the latter stages, or even the final, of this year’s Wimbledon. But the All England Club rarely goes according to plan.
Novak Djokovic is vying to add to his seven Wimbledon crowns, while Alexander Zverev, Jack Draper and Taylor Fritz will also be looking to upset the order win their first Grand Slam title.
In the women’s bracket, Jessica Pegula enters as the third seed, although she has never made it past the quarterfinals in SW19. Jasmine Paolini has fared much better — she lost to Barbora Krejčíková in last year’s final — although she has shown mixed form so far this year.
Prize money
The total prize money for the championships this summer is £53.5 million, with the winners of the men’s and women’s singles titles each taking home £3m — an 11% increase from last year.
Men’s and women’s doubles champions will earn £680,000, while mixed doubles winners claim £135,000.
Breakdown of single’s prize money:
