Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Wimbledon Generates Record £50m for British Tennis, Boosting LTA Funds
Caption:
Wimbledon Championships delivered a record surplus of nearly £50m for British tennis, with the LTA receiving £49.853m. This surplus stems from an agreement requiring The All England Club to pass 90% of its profits to the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA). Despite a wet championship, Wimbledon posted impressive financial results for 2024, delivering a significant surplus for British tennis. The AELTC's financial statement revealed a slight profit increase of £54.332m and a rise in turnover to £406.507m. Over the past decade, Wimbledon has doubled its prize money, but players continue to push for a larger share of the generated revenue. Top 20 male and female tennis players recently requested higher prize money from the four Grand Slam tournaments. The financial support from Wimbledon is vital in supporting British tennis, enhancing grassroots development and elite performance. The increased financial backing signals a strong future for tennis in the UK, fostering growth in both professional and amateur sectors.
