Despite the protests, the All England Club announced a record 20% increase in prize money for this year's tournament, reaching an overall £64.2 million, with singles champions receiving £3.6 million each. Wimbledon officials expressed “surprise and disappointment” at the players' actions, arguing that a revenue-sharing formula is unrealistic given their not-for-profit status and commitment to reinvesting 90% of surplus funds into British tennis. Players are also advocating for a player welfare fund, the formation of a player council, and greater consultation on tournament matters, with warnings that they are “reserving all options” for future strike action if their demands are not met.
