WIMBLEDON is back! And with big-time tennis comes big-time prize money.
Big names such as Andy Murray, Novak Djokovic, Emma Raducanu and Serena Williams will grace SW19 this year in search of gold.
It was just last year that Raducanu made her name at Wimbledon, a month before going on to become US Open champion.
Djokovic will be going all out to retain the crown he won in 2021.
But there'll be a new Women's singles winner, with last year's champ Ashleigh Barty retiring from tennis at the beginning of 2022.
With all that in mind, how much do we expect to see our grass-skidding superstars get paid this summer?

And to go out in the very first round, you'll still pocket a tidy £50,000, but you can pick up just under £80,000 if you make it a round further.
On another note, the winners of the Doubles' Championships will share £540,000 this year.
