In 1977, Virginia Wade won Wimbledon and received £5,000 as her prize money for the victory in the women's singles final. This amount was part of a significant increase in prize money for the tournament, marking a shift towards more equitable compensation for female players. Wade's win was notable not only for the prize money but also for being the last British woman to win the singles title at Wimbledon for several decades.
