Wimbledon kicked off yesterday (Monday, June 27) and continues today, with the likes of Emma Raducanu, Andy Murray and Ryan Peniston helping to represent the UK throughout the prestigious tournament.
Murray began his 2022 Grand Slam bid on Monday, after missing the French Open and clay court season in the process, but he also battled back from an abdominal injury in the meantime.
All the players have dedicated their lives to tennis, with all of them starting when they were just children.
It’s resulted in some pretty healthy pay-outs, with all Wimbledon players guaranteed at least £50,000 for simply participating in the first round.
Some players have a stronger net worth than others and here are some of the top rankings in Wimbledon.
