The All England Club is giving this year's crop of players at Wimbledon a decent raise. The total payout is 53.5 million pounds, or $72.7 million, up 7% from a year ago, reports the Guardian. Details:

  • The men's and women's winners will get a record 3 million pounds, which translates to a bit over $4 million, reports UPI. That's up 11% from last year, with the total payout double that from a decade ago, notes Reuters. It's also the highest payout in any of the Grand Slam tournaments.
  • By contrast, the US Open pays $3.6 million to its winners.

  • But it's not just the champs seeing a raise: Those who lose in the first round at Wimbledon will collect 66,000 pounds, or about $90,000, per the AP. That's up 10% from last year.
  • The tournament starts June 30 and goes through July 13.
