When is the Wimbledon final 2022 and what is the prize money round by round?
The Wimbledon Final 2022 is drawing near
Ash Barty and Novac Djokovic took home the Wimbledon singles title last year, and fans are eager to know when the Wimbledon final 2022 takes place, and the prize money round by round.
Wimbledon 2022 has been underway since June 20th. The iconic tennis competition has been held in Wimbledon for over 140 years. During this time, the courts have seen plentiful talent and drama, with memorable moments including John McEnroe’s epic battles with Bjorn Borg. Plus Venus and Serena Williams' unforgettable reigns, breaking records over their decade dominating the championship.
With fan favourites Andy Murray and Emma Raducanu both out of the competition, and Roger Federer recovering from knee surgery, tennis enthusiasts are eager to see who will clinch the coveted titles this year.
When is the Wimbledon final 2022?
The Wimbledon ladies’ singles final takes place at 2pm on July 9, with the Wimbledon men's singles final taking place at the same time a day later on July 10. The Wimbledon men's doubles final will also take place on July 9 after the women's final. Similarly the ladies' doubles final will follow the men's singles final on July 10.
The mixed doubles officially kick off the run of Wimbledon finals - taking place on July 7. 2022 marks 100 years of Centre Court, and both singles finals will take place there at its current location of Church Road in Wimbledon. We doubt they'll be any empty seats at Wimbledon during these thrilling head to heads.

In 2021, Ash Barty triumphed over Karolína Plíšková in the ladies final. Novak Djokovic also successfully defended his title, defeating Roger Federer in the 2021 men’s final.
Fans are expecting great things when Djokovic steps up to defend his title. However, Barty made the shock announcement earlier this year that she was to retire at the age of 25. She gave the reasons for her decision to be that she had given everything she had to tennis, on a physical and emotional level. She also stated that she had fulfilled her own personal goals.

The longest final set at Wimbledon took 11 hours and 5 minutes. The fifth set lasted 8 hours and 11 minutes alone. 11 hours and 5 minutes also makes history as the longest set in the world. John Isner played this incredible final set against Nicolas Mahut in 2010 on Wimbledon’s Court 18 at Wimbledon in 2010. Isner eventually won 6-4, 3-6, 6-7, 7-6, 70-68.

When was the first Wimbledon final?
The Wimbledon Championship began on July 9th 1877. The men’s singles was the only one held during this initial event. 22 men took part in the tournament, paying a guinea each to enter. The event was due to be 5 days in length, but was delayed by rain for a further 4 days. This pushed the final to July 19th 1877, which was won by old Harrovian rackets player Spencer Gore.
Gore defeated William Marshall 6–1, 6-2 and 6–4 in a playing time of 48 minutes. His prize money was 12 guineas, and approximately 200 spectators watched the final, paying one shilling each to do so.
