Recall that Russian and Belarusian tennis players were not allowed to participate in Wimbledon due to the full-scale invasion of Russia into Ukraine. Because of this, the ATP, WTA and ITF will not award ranking points for performance in the tournament.
The total prize fund of Wimbledon this year will be a record 40.35 million pounds. Champions of the single men’s and women’s tournaments will receive two million pounds, finalists – more than a million.
