Update:

24-year-old Warsaw born Iga Swiatek is the new Wimbledon women’s singles champion, easily overcoming Amanda Anisimova in straight sets (6-0 6-0).

For her efforts, she takes home a winner’s check for £3,000,000, roughly $4,000,000. That’s the largest champion’s payday of any Grand Slam in 2025, with the next closest being the US Open, which will award $3.6 million to its singles winner this fall.

The French Open paid $2.8 million to winner Coco Gauff, and Madison Keys collected $2.26 million for her victory over Aryna Sabalenka in the Australian Open final.

Prize money at all four Grand Slams has been equal for men and women since 2007, when Wimbledon became the last of the majors to adopt parity. That year, the Wimbledon champion’s check was £700,000 (about $1.4 million).

Runner-up Anisimova earns £1.5 million (about $2 million).

What is the total prize pool at Wimbledon this year?

The total prize fund at Wimbledon 2025 is a record £53,500,000—around $72 million.

The total prize pot at Wimbledon in 1968, the first year of the Open Era, was £26,150, around $63,000. The men’s champion, Rod Laver, picked up $4,800 (£2,000) and the women’s winner, Billie Jean King, won $1,800 (£750).

What is the Women’s trophy called?

In addition to the check, Swiatek gets to hold aloft the women’s trophy, called the ‘Venus Rosewater Dish’. It’s a 18.75 inch diameter silver salver, with mythologically inspired decorations. The central figure of the plate is Temperance, represented by a woman seated on a chest with a lamp in her right hand and a jug in her left. The sickle, pitchfork, and caduceus can also be seen. Around that you can also see different mythological figures: Venus, Jupiter, Mercury and the Goddess of Water surround the central part.

On the edge you can see Minerva presiding over the liberal arts: Astrology, Geometry, Arithmetic, Music, Rhetoric, Dialectics and Grammar.

The first woman to lift the trophy was Blanche Blingey in 1886. However, the name of Maud Watson, champion of the first two editions of the tournament, when the dish did not exist, has been recorded along with the different winners since.

Since 2007, every winner has received a three-quarter size replica of the trophy.

At the time of writing they are out of stock, but Wimbledon sell small replicas of the Venus Rosewater Dish, perfect for the tennis lover in your life.
