Wimbledon prize money 'peanuts' in tennis world
Leatherhead and Dorking Advertiser
|July 10, 2025
BRITISH rookie Jack Pinnington Jones plans to use his “peanuts” Wimbledon prize money to kickstart his dream of becoming a grand slam regular.
The 22-year-old debutant - a close friend of British number one Jack Draper - made the most of his SW19 wild card by beating Tomas Etcheverry in his opening match before going down in straights sets to 22nd seed Flavio Cobolli in round two.
Pinnington Jones pocketed £99,000 for an impressive impact at his maiden major tournament - a small sum in professional tennis but one which could prove pivotal for his fledgling career.
Away from the glamour of the Championships, the world number 281, who grew up in Ashtead, is back living with his parents and three younger sisters in Cobham after opting not to complete the final year of his studies at Texas Christian University.
