The All England Club has once again pushed the boundaries of generosity. The announcement of a £44.7 million total prize fund for the 2023 Wimbledon Championships, has set a new benchmark, outpacing last year’s allotment by 11.2%, and edging 17.1% ahead of the pre-Covid prize pool in 2019.
Similar to the second Grand Slam of the season, the Roland Garros, the overall prize money allocation for this year’s tournament increased significantly at Wimbledon as over £40 million will be distributed to players throughout ATP & WTA singles, doubles, mixed doubles, and wheelchair tournaments.

Kichenok won her first major title and became the first Ukrainian champion in Wimbledon history. Pavić won his third mixed doubles major title. Both teams saved match points en route to the final: Pavić and Kichenok saved one in their second-round match against Nikola Mektić and Bernarda Pera, and Vliegen and Xu saved three in the first round against two-time defending champions Neal Skupski and Desirae Krawczyk.
WOMEN’S DOUBLES: Hsieh Su-wei and Barbora Strýcová won the women’s doubles title at the 2023 Wimbledon Championships, defeating Storm Hunter and Elise Mertens in the final, 7–5, 6–4. It was Hsieh’s fourth Wimbledon women’s doubles title and Strýcová’s second, with the pair having teamed up previously to win the title in 2019.
Barbora Krejčíková and Kateřina Siniaková were the reigning champions, but withdrew due to a left leg injury sustained by Krejčiková in the singles tournament.
MEN’S DOUBLES: Wesley Koolhof and Neal Skupski defeated Marcel Granollers and Horacio Zeballos in the final, 6–4, 6–4 to win the men’s doubles tennis title at the 2023 Wimbledon Championships. It was both players’ first major title in men’s doubles.
Matthew Ebden and Max Purcell were the defending champions, but chose not to defend the title together. Ebden partnered Rohan Bopanna and Purcell partnered Jordan Thompson, but both lost to Wesley Koolhof and Neal Skupski in the semifinals and in the third round, respectively. This marks the first year that men’s doubles will be played in best-of-three sets instead of best-of-five.
Koolhof and Skupski will regain the men’s doubles No. 1 ranking at the end of the tournament, after current No. 1 Austin Krajicek lost in the second round. Rajeev Ram was also in contention for the No. 1 ranking at the beginning of the tournament.
WOMEN’S SINGLES: Markéta Vondroušová becomes first unseeded woman to win singles title at the All England Club.
Markéta Vondroušová has made history as the first unseeded player to win the ladies singles championship at Wimbledon in a stunning 6-4, 6-4 upset over the No. 6 seed Ons Jabeur, who is the runner-up for a second straight year. The 24-year-old lefty joins two other Czech-born left-handers – Martina Navratilova and Petra Kvitová – to take home the Wimbledon title.
MEN’S SINGLES: The Spanish sensation has done it. Alcaraz will remain World No 1!
After 10 years and 45 matches unbeaten on Wimbledon’s Centre Court, the Serbian loses a match!
The 20-year-old beats the 23-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic 1-6, 7-6, 6-1, 3-6, 6-4.
For the first time since 2003, the top seed at the event (Alcaraz) is not a member of the Big Four. The fourth-round defeat of Matteo Berrettini guaranteed a first-time Wimbledon finalist from the top half of the draw; Alcaraz emerging to be that player. Stan Wawrinka was attempting to complete the career Grand Slam, but was defeated by Djokovic in the third round.
Djokovic speaks:
Talking to the on-court presenter, the Serb says: “Not so good afternoon for me. But good for Carlos. What quality at end of match. You deserve it. Absolute quality. Amazing, amazing! I thought I’ll have trouble with you only on clay, but not on grass (smiles).
“It’s a dream come true,” says Carlos Alcaraz as he accepts the winner’s trophy.
He says he’s proud of the work he and his team put in to win Wimbledon when he is just 20 years old. And he pays tribute to Novak Djokovic, joking that the Serb was winning trophies before he was born.
