        Wimbledon serves up a record $19m

        溫網(wǎng)拋出1900萬(wàn)美元驚人大獎(jiǎng)

        Wimbledon will offer the most prize money in the history of tennis for its 2005 Championships, increasing the pool by 3.9 percent to 10,085,510 pounds ($19.30m).

        Women will continue to be paid less at the June 20-July 3 London grasscourt grand slam, but the gap is closing organizers said on Tuesday.

        "Our decisions are always made on market forces and, in our judgement, this is a fair decision to make," All England Club chairman Tim Phillips told reporters.

        Women's prize money for the singles was improved by 5.9 percent while the men's singles money rose by 4.6 percent.

        That means this year the Wimbledon men's singles champion will earn 630,000 pounds and the champion woman will get 600,000 pounds.

        "The prize money available on the (women's) WTA Tour is still substantially less than that on the (men's) ATP Tour and there are only two tournaments in the world that pay men and women the same," Phillips said, referring to the Australian and U.S. Opens.

        "You will recall from previous years that there are all sorts of issues we take into account; for example the leading women win a bigger proportion of their prize money because unlike the men they play the doubles as well. Women earn more per minute played and more per game. "

        The 2004 French Open prize pot was 13.26m euros ($17.33m) while the 2005 Australian Open paid out 19.1m Australian dollars ($14.90m).

        Security for the Wimbledon tournament will be stepped up for 2005.

        Spectators will be restricted to one bag per person and hard-sided hampers and cool-boxes will be banned for the first time. Bag-searchers will be deployed in the queues and searches of cars will be stepped up.

        The 2005 Championships will also be the last for Alan Mills as referee. He is stepping down after 23 years in the hot seat.

        2005年溫布爾登網(wǎng)球公開(kāi)賽將提供網(wǎng)球賽事史上最高的一筆獎(jiǎng)金,獎(jiǎng)金總額將高達(dá)1008.551萬(wàn)英鎊(約合1930萬(wàn)美元),比上一屆增漲了3.9%。

        賽事組織者本周二表示,今年6月20日到7月3日,在溫布爾登(位于倫敦附近)舉行的草地大滿貫賽上,女選手的獎(jiǎng)金仍將低于男選手,不過(guò)男女選手獎(jiǎng)金的差距正在縮小。

        “我們通常根據(jù)市場(chǎng)和自己的判斷來(lái)做決定,這個(gè)決定是公平的。”全英網(wǎng)球俱樂(lè)部主席提姆·菲利普斯對(duì)記者說(shuō)。

        女子單打選手的獎(jiǎng)金較往年提高了5.9%,男子單打的獎(jiǎng)金則上升了4.6 %。

        這意味著今年溫網(wǎng)男單冠軍將獲得63萬(wàn)英鎊的獎(jiǎng)金,女單冠軍也將有60萬(wàn)英鎊入帳。

        菲利普斯說(shuō):“世界女子職業(yè)網(wǎng)球協(xié)會(huì)巡回賽提供的獎(jiǎng)金仍然遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)低于世界男子職業(yè)網(wǎng)球協(xié)會(huì)巡回賽,目前世界上只有兩場(chǎng)網(wǎng)球巡回賽付給男女選手的報(bào)酬是相同的。”他指的是澳大利亞網(wǎng)球公開(kāi)賽和美國(guó)網(wǎng)球公開(kāi)賽。

        “從前幾年開(kāi)始,我們將各方面因素都列入到考慮范圍。比如頂級(jí)女子單打選手獲得的獎(jiǎng)金份額會(huì)更大,因?yàn)楹湍凶舆x手不同的是,她們同時(shí)還參加雙打比賽。如果按照每打一分鐘球或每一場(chǎng)球來(lái)算,女子選手賺得更多。”

        2004法國(guó)網(wǎng)球公開(kāi)賽開(kāi)出的獎(jiǎng)金是1326萬(wàn)歐元(約合1733萬(wàn)美元),而2005澳洲網(wǎng)球公開(kāi)賽的獎(jiǎng)金達(dá)到1910萬(wàn)澳元(約合1490萬(wàn)美元)。

        2005溫布爾登網(wǎng)球公開(kāi)賽的安全問(wèn)題將格外受到重視。

        屆時(shí)觀眾每人只限隨身攜帶一個(gè)包,硬邊的食物籃和保溫容器都將首次被禁止帶入場(chǎng)內(nèi)。包袋檢查人員將成列配置,對(duì)汽車的檢查也會(huì)更加嚴(yán)格。

        2005溫布爾登網(wǎng)球公開(kāi)賽也將是裁判長(zhǎng)艾倫·米爾斯的最后一次上場(chǎng)“執(zhí)法”了。賽后,他將離開(kāi)溫網(wǎng)賽場(chǎng),他在這個(gè)職位上呆了23年,承受著巨大的壓力。
