Wimbledon unveils highest prize in tennis
The total prize money purse at this year's Wimbledon championships will make it the most lucrative tennis tournament ever, the All England Club announced on Tuesday.
Both men's and women's singles champions will receive 700,000 pounds ($1.40 million) as part of a total prize fund of 11,282,710 pounds, up 8.7 percent on the 2006 total.
The men's champion's cheque has increased by 6.9 percent while the women's has risen by 12 percent after Wimbledon decided in February to offer equal prize money.
