Wimbledon 2026, the third and most prestigious Grand Slam of the year in the tennis circuit, is going to start. The two-week long tournament will begin on Monday, June 29. This time the tournament is more special than before because the prize money has been increased by 20 percent by the All England Lawn Tennis Club (AELTC).

This time, each of the winners of Men's and Women's Singles will get 3.6 million pounds i.e. approximately Rs 45 crore as prize, which was 3 million last year.
