The 2024 edition of Wimbledon certainly wasnโt without its fair share of speculation, but one thing was always for certain โ the players were set to walk away with more prize money than ever before.
In terms of the โwho,โ Carlos Alcaraz has successfully defended his title against seven-time champion: Novak Djokovic. For context, the ageing Big Three player underwent surgery to repair his torn meniscus during last monthโs French Open; which was a key factor behind why he crumbled in straight sets against Alcaraz (though that isnโt to take anything away from the latter).

Carlos Alcaraz goes down in history as just the sixth-ever player to go all the way at both Roland Garros and the All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club in the same year after Rod Laver, Bjorn Borg, Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer, and of course, Novak Djokovic.
As for the Womenโs Singles, former world #1 Aryna Sabalenka, French Open champion Iga Swiatek, Kazakhstanโs Elena Rybakina, American talent Coco Gauff were all running favourites for this yearโs iteration of the storied tournament.
Eventually, it came down to former world #2 (current world #10) Barbora Krejcikova, who defeated Italyโs world #5 Jasmine Paoilini in three sets for the vaunted Grand Slam title.

Wimbledon Prize Money (2024)
In addition to becoming the menโs and womenโs Grand Slam champions, Carlos Alcaraz and Barbora Krejcikova earned a hefty ยฃ2,700,000 (AU$5,120,000) each โ for reference, thatโs 14.9% more than the prize money pocketed by Alcaraz and then-unseeded Czech talent Marketa Vondrousova in 2023.
Runner-ups Novak Djokovic and Jasmine Paoilini also had the blows of defeat softened by a generous sum of ยฃ1,400,000 (AU$2,650,000) each, which itself is a 19.1% improvement from last yearโs compensation.
As mentioned earlier, the All England Club has once again offered a record amount of prize money for the 2024 edition of Wimbledon: ยฃ50,000,000 (AU$94,800,000) in total this time around.
