How much will Nick Kyrgios earn at Wimbledon? Aussie's prize money revealed image

Nick Kyrgios' deep run at Wimbledon has been full of drama but, whether he wins or loses Sunday's final, it will be a very profitable one for the Aussie.

The 27-year-old beat his previous Grand Slam best of a quarter final appearance when he defeated Cristian Garin in straight sets to qualify for the final four.

Kyrgios then got a massive boost when Rafael Nadal withdrew from their scheduled semi final on account of an abdominal injury suffered in his five-set win over Taylor Fritz in the quarters.

Looking to become the first Australian male singles Grand Slam winner since Lleyton Hewitt at Wimbledon in 2002, Kyrgios will have to get past world no. 3 and 20-time major winner Novak Djokovic in the final.

We take a look at the prize money waiting for Kyrgios at the end of the tournament.

How much will Nick Kyrgios earn at Wimbledon?

Kyrgios is already guaranteed £1,050,000 (AU$1,848,677) for qualifying for the final.

Semi finalists at the All England Club receive prize money of £535,000 (AU$941,945), that meant Nadal's withdrawal earned Kyrgios over AU$900,000.

Kyrgios is the first Australian male singles player to reach the final of a major since Hewitt at the Australian Open in 2005, and first to do it at Wimbledon since Mark Philippoussis in 2003.

If the Canberran can go all the way, he'll pocket a very cool £2,000,000, the equivalent of AU$3,521,290.
