Wimbledon 2022, the third Grand Slam of the tennis season, started its qualifying stage on June 20, and all the top players on the ATP and WTA circuit will meet at the All England Club to try to win the oldest tennis trophy in the world.
The tournament, being one of the Grand Slams that make up the professional tennis circuit and having a fairly high difficulty compared to others, brings not only more points in the world ranking to the players, but also better economic prizes.
Since its inception until now, the money it has distributed has only grown due to factors such as inflation and an increase in professional tennis income. Unfortunately, this edition of Wimbledon 2022 will not give points in any ATP or WTA ranking by decision of the same bodies.
Here at JefeBet, we bring you a detailed list of the money to be distributed in this edition of Wimbledon 2022.
