Tournament chiefs unveiled the boosted winners cheques among
an increased total prize pot of 31.6 million pounds, up from
28.1 million pounds for the previous year.
The bigger pot benefits players throughout the draw, with first
round singles losers set to walk away from the All England Club
with 35,000 pounds.
The grasscourt grand slam tournament takes place on the fringes
of south-west London from July 3-16: the latest start for the
tournament since 1895.
