Wimbledon Tennis Tournament has announced a hefty prize-pot hike for this year’s event which runs from July 2-15.

Organizers of the oldest grand slam tournament revealed a prize fund of 34 million pounds ($46.57 million) for the 2018 championships, up 7.6 percent from last year.

That figure includes awards of 2.25 million pounds each for the men’s and women’s champions – an increase on the 2.2 million pounds roger Federer and Garbine Muguruza received in 2017.

Organizers also issued a warning that players who compete while knowingly carrying an injury, and quit mid-match, face being docked all their first-round prize money.

The move is aimed at preventing a repeat of the rash of retirements in early action last year.
