WIMBLEDON, England (AP) -- Women still will earn less than the men at Wimbledon, even though total prize money at the Grand Slam tournament is going up.

The All England Club announced a 5 percent increase across the board in payoffs on Tuesday, pushing the purse to $12.7 million.

The men's champion will receive $756,000, and the women's champion will get $700,000. Last year, Goran Ivanisevic was paid $720,000, and Venus Williams $666,000.

The total prize money is $6.29 million for men and $5.32 million for women, with the rest of the overall fund going to mixed doubles and senior doubles events.

The discrepancy between men's and women's prize money had narrowed the past two years because Wimbledon gave the women higher percentage increases. But not this year.

The WTA, which has campaigned for years for equal pay, was disappointed by the decision.

``We continue to be concerned over the lack of equality between women's and men's prize money,'' WTA Tour chief operations officer Josh Ripple said Tuesday. ``Over the next year, we will work with Wimbledon to review the disparity.''

All England Club chairman Tim Phillips said a year ago he did not expect to see equal pay in the foreseeable future.

``I do think we're being fair,'' he said. ``We've applied a 5 percent increase of both the men's and women's total and the women's total is a marginally smaller increase. It makes a tiny difference.''

The French Open also gives more money to the men. The other Grand Slam tournaments, the U.S. Open and Australian Open, pay equal prize money.

``Although this remains a priority for the WTA, there has not been any major hoo-ha about it,'' Phillips said. ``We consider the U.S. and Australian Opens to be the ones being out of line.

``There are no other tournaments with equal prize money and we are not sure there are many other sporting events with equal parity in terms of men and women.''

Phillips said it would be wrong for all four Grand Slams to have similar winnings.

``You have to be careful in terms of collusion between the Grand Slams in what they decide to pay,'' he said. ``Each of us is completely independent. We pay what we each decide is the right amount.''

French Open organizers have announced total prize money of $10.7 million. The men's champion will earn $686,135, the women's $668,981.

The U.S. Open's total purse last year was $15.8 million.
