Wimbledon prize money rises by £120k

The 2015 Wimbledon singles champions will win £1.88m, an increase of £120,000 on last year.

The overall prize fund at the All England Club will rise from £25m to £26.75m, a 7% increase year on year.

Courts 14 and 15 will come back into use after being re-laid following development works, bringing the total ground capacity at SW19 to 39,000, compared to 2014's 34,000.

And use of Hawk-Eye has been extended to courts 12 and 18.

That means the technology will be in action on six courts across the championships, which run from 29 June to 12 July.
