The potential windfall represents a £300,000 increase from the £2.7 million he collected for his victory at SW19 last year.
The All England Club has announced a total prize fund of £53.5 million for this year's Championships, marking a 7 per cent rise from the previous £50 million pot.
Both men's and women's singles champions will receive equal prize money, maintaining Wimbledon's commitment to pay parity across the tournament, with Barbora Krejcikova winning the women's singles last year.
