Wimbledon chiefs have confirmed the winners of this year's women's and men's singles will receive £2.35million in prize money - an increase of 17.5 per cent from 2022.
This year's tournament starts on Monday, July 3, with Elena Rybakina looking to defend her women's crown. The Kazakhstani superstar won her maiden Grand Slam title by beating Tunisian talent Ons Jabeur 3-6, 6-2, 6-2 on Centre Court a year ago.
The reigning men's champion is Novak Djokovic, who defeated Australian favourite Nick Kyrgios 4-6, 6-3, 6-4, 7-6 in the 2022 final. Djokovic is aiming to win his eighth Wimbledon title this month to equal Roger Federer's record in the men's game.

What are the big storylines?
US Open champion Carlos Alcaraz heads into this year's men's singles as the world No.1 after winning at Queen's last time out. That was the Spaniard's first career victory on grass and has left fans excited to see what the talented 20-year-old will do at SW19.
Yet Djokovic, who won his 23rd Grand Slam title at last month's French Open, will not give up without a fight. He said: "I'm sure I'm not the only player that dreamt of winning Wimbledon... It's a favourite tournament for so many players around the world."
British superstar Emma Raducanu will not compete at Wimbledon this year, as she continues her recovery from hand and ankle surgery. Two-time champion Andy Murray will be there and arrives in good form after winning three ATP Challenger titles this year.
Murray goes into the tournament ranked 39th in the world and will face fellow Brit Ryan Peniston in the opening round. "Last year, when I lost in the second round, it didn't go as I wanted and it was really frustrating," Murray told Wimbledon's website.
"This year it's been very different in that I've had no issues and I have no excuses to not go out there and perform at my best. Physically it's the best I've felt in a very long time."
