Murray Seen Netting $75 Million by Ending U.K.’s Wimbledon Wait

Andy Murray may net as much as $75 million a year by ending the U.K.’s 77-year wait for a men’s champion on the lawns of Wimbledon.

The 26-year-old is trying to become the first British man to take the singles title since Fred Perry, who won Wimbledon in 1936 during the short reign of Edward VIII, Queen Elizabeth II’s uncle. The second-seeded Scot plays Poland’s Jerzy Janowicz today for a place in his second Wimbledon final, while 2011 champion Novak Djokovic of Serbia faces Juan Martin Del Potro of Argentina. Germany’s Sabine Lisicki plays Marion Bartoli of France in the women’s final tomorrow.
