Wimbledon will have a record 50m total prize money next month, with the two singles champions taking home 2.7m each.

Last year's champions Carlos Alcaraz and Marketa Vondrousovan received a then record 2.35m.

There is also a 35% increase for the wheelchair events, with their total prize fund increasing to 1m, although this partly reflects an increase in draw size.

The total prize money is up 11.9% from last year's tournament and first-round singles losers will receive 60,000 - which is a 5,000 increase.

Money for the qualifying competition will also increase by 14.9%.

Spain's Alcaraz won the Wimbledon men's singles title for the first time last year with a stunning victory over Novak Djokovic, who was going for a fifth straight title.

Vondrousova became the first unseeded player to win the women's singles title as she defeated Ons Jabeur.

Wimbledon begins on 1 July and runs until 14 July.
