The Women's Wimbledon final is edging ever closer and we can't wait to soak up the sunshine and enjoy this exciting match on our TV screens this Saturday.

During this contest we've seen Emma Raducanu and Coco Gauff be eliminated from the contest, but it's all to play for as either Donna Vekić, Jasmine Paolini, Barbora Krejčíková or Elena Rybakina will take the win.

This is in stark contrast to when the Women's Singles was first awarded money back in 1968. At that time the ladies were given £750, compared to the men who won £2,000 in the same year.

The pay discrepancy between the genders continued until 2007, when the Women's Singles jackpot matched that of the Men's Singles total.

This 2024 season will see Wimbledon give out £50million in prizes, with the Gentlemen and Ladies' doubles receiving £650,000, while Mixed Doubles sees a high of £130,000.
