Their contrasting styles, Alcaraz’s explosive athleticism vs Sinner’s ice-cold precision, promise a high-octane showdown on Centre Court.
Wimbledon continues to lead the way in equaling prize money across genders and increasing its payouts annually. The increase in the winner's cheque (from £2.7M in 2024 to £3M in 2025) signals strong commercial health and viewership engagement. Other rounds also saw prize boosts, ensuring that even early-round participants are rewarded more generously than ever before.
