The winners of the singles titles at Wimbledon this year will take home £3million, as the tournament announced a record prize pot for players.

The total prize pot has increased from £50m to £53.5m, a 7 per cent jump, while first round losers will receive £66,000 – a 10 per cent increase from last year.

Meanwhile, the All England Lawn Tennis Club (AELTC) defended the change to the start time of both singles finals, from its usual 2pm slot to 4pm this year. Doubles finals will now take place from 1pm.

Shnaider thumps the ball into the net 30-40 down and it’s advantage Keys in the second set!

Going on serve in this set so far. Keys looks to have settled a little compared to the error-strewn first set.

Tidy stuff from the world No 12, who secures the opening set with minimal fuss. Her combination of excellent defence and the occasional stunner – including a sublime drop shot in the last game of this set – has flummoxed Keys.

It’s not going Keys’ way. Approaching the net, she makes a fist of what should be an easy putaway, blasting a volley wide and covering her face with her hands. “Come on Madi” shouts the crowd.

She gets taken to deuce, but seals an important hold with some clean ballstriking to force Shnaider to serve it out.

Madison Keys’ power-hitting style is glorious to watch when on song, but it also produces its fair share of errors. A couple of wayward balls and she’s an early break down.

Shnaider takes her to deuce on the American’s next service game, and has the chance for a double break as Keys double faults. A second double in succession, and Shnaider is romping away with this one.

Emma Raducanu revealed she hopes to keep exploring her doubles partnership with Katie Boulter after the pair bowed out in the quarter-finals at Queen’s following a 6-2 7-5 defeat to Ukrainian Lyudmyla Kichenok and Erin Routliffe of New Zealand.

The duo, who have been bestowed the portmanteau ‘Boultercanu’, earlier this week described the “spontaneous” nature of their decision to pair up ahead of this tournament.

“Katie made me feel really comfortable out there over the two matches and I hope we can team up again soon,” said the 2021 US Open winner.

The pair trade holds to kick off this opening match, Keys with ease after some blistering serving, while Shnaider is forced to save a break point, but battles through the game.
