The total prize fund at this year's Wimbledon will be £64.2m, following the largest annual increase in the event's history. The singles' champions will each take home £3.6m with first-round losers paid £80,000. More than £6m has been set aside for the qualifying competition - an increase of 25%. Overall prize money has increased by £10.7m, with leading players welcoming the 20% increase in prize money as a "genuine and significant step forward". However they will still expand their protests about prize money - limiting the time they offer at the media weekend and restricting post-match appearances to 15 minutes throughout the first week. The 15-minute limit is meant to symbolise the 15% of revenue which - broadly speaking - the Grand Slams allocate to prize money.
