Cheers for that guys, every search I did kept on coming up with last years prize money.

Does anyone know where there is a list or this years total prize money breakdown? I can find the singles but not qualifiers, doubles, wheelchair etc.

I ask because I had assumed a Doubles WC and a singles QWC would earn about 8k but I think it's actually highter and nearer 10-12k. Nice wee earner for the likes of Marcus based on not playing much since last year.

Jaggy, I don't know how to put a pdf link
PS And your 10-12k is still well conservative - it's 4,375 for the qualis first round, and 10,750 for the doubles first round - that's over 15k ..... as you say, a 'nice little earner' indeed.....

presumably the final 3 wild cards if given will go to anyone of:
Marcus Willis and/or Jay Clarke - if they reach the semis at Ilkley, as Russell Fuller predicted on Five Live tonight (there was a good interview with Marcus on Five Drive, with Russell commenting afterwards - Marcus said last years money hadnt stretched too far and he was looking to re enter the tour full time soon.)
the Ilkley winner if not qualified already - few players at Ilkley including Fucsovics, Millman, Marchenko, Fritz, Groth, Millot, Fratangelo, Halys and Bolt who if they win Ilkley could take a wild card.
If one left over, maybe someone from Challenger events that has performed well over the 3 week circuit - Groth was a semifinalist in last weeks Nottingham event, so maybe a RU position at Ilkley would give him enough combined credit to get in as a WC. he is also a known name which helps.

And of course they may not give all 3 out
Why on earth would they want to hand a WC to a Pesky, if, as I reported yesterday, Wimbledon's contention is that "wild cards are usually offered on the basis of past performance at Wimbledon or to increase British interest"??? Better that they go unallocated, IMHO.

Hi - I understood they gave the winners of the challengers on grass wildcards based on past few years protocols?

Indeed. However the 'liberal' use of the term doesn't, I suspect, mean that people are 'be-labouring' any point relating to political affiliations.

I know spectator just a bit of humour. The big C mob trending on twitter for election fraud I see...

As was mine - I didn't think you were serious ... just couldn't resist the puns.

I was sorely tempted to tell you to get your coat when I first saw your reply, Spectator, but restrained myself. wink If you mean this: , this page is the source of most of the ones I use, including the banana.

Oh you've done it now, there are a load of good ones on that page, expect we'll see quite a few !!

Spectator · All-time great

That was exactly the one I meant! Thank you.

Not sure where to put this but that's Goffin and Carreno Busta our old friend out of Wimbledon and Nishikori doubtful.

(Lloyd G has one anyway. It's Dan Cox who's added, as well as Ryan, Alex and Neil)

But very, very pleased for Scott and Jonny - and it's just how wildcards should be used, in my opinion. Give the Wimbledon experience, the chance for 'glory', and a bit of cash to as wide a variety of players as you can justify. And it then involves all their families, clubs, friends, etc. and 'spreads the good news', in true evangelical style.

Only question mark remaining is regarding Luke Bambridge ????
