This year's total profits represented an increase of around £200,000 on last year but were still £7million below the revenue generated from 2001 when television income was at a much greater level.
As always, the profits from Wimbledon will be invested straight back into the development of British tennis.
The Lawn Tennis Association, the recipients of the profits, plan to utilise the funds to build on the achievements of the last year in its three key priorities of attracting and retaining junior players, creating a vibrant and accessible club network and delivering on its performance plan.
Commenting on the news, John Crowther, chief executive of the LTA, stated: "The last year has seen the pace of change in British tennis really accelerate. It is clear that more players will lead to better players and we will continue to drive forward with our strategy of delivering both.
"Looking ahead, we know there is still a lot to be done by everyone connected with British tennis, but we know where we want to be and how to get there."
The All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club has announced that the profits from this year's Wimbledon tennis championships rose slightly on the 2002 tournament to £25.8million.
