Wimbledon folds: +20% on the 2026 allocation
After the revolt at Roland-Garros, the All England Club reacted with a record envelope to calm the players.
Wimbledon doesn't just listen, she takes out the checkbook. 2 million. This financial windfall comes directly after the players' mutiny at Roland Garros, where headliners like Aryna Sabalenka and Jannik Sinner demanded a larger share of the pie.
6 million pounds, while someone eliminated in the first round will walk away with 80,000 pounds. This is not charity, it is a defensive strategy. By aligning the numbers, Wimbledon is trying to defuse a revolt before it takes over the grass courts.
