Pay rise at Wimbledon
Wimbledon's singles champions will benefit from a prize money rise taking their earnings to 1.1 million pounds at the 2011 Championships, organisers announced on Tuesday.
If men's champion Rafael Nadal and women's winner Serena Williams successfully defend the titles they won last year they will bank a cheque that represents a 10 per cent rise of 100,000 on the 1-million-pound prize awarded 12 months ago.
Although the rest of the world continues to endure tough times as the global financial recession continues, there is no sign of the All England Club tightening its belt.
