Wimbledon is done and dusted for another year, and after two thrilling weeks of world-class tennis, we have our new champions. Jannik Sinner battled back to defeat Carlos Alcaraz and claim his maiden Wimbledon title in a captivating final. On the women’s side, Iga Świątek secured her first Wimbledon crown, adding yet another Grand Slam to her growing legacy.
Sinner Becomes a Wimbledon winner
Jannik Sinner ended Carlos Alcaraz’s 20-match winning streak at Wimbledon to capture his first Championship title and fourth Grand Slam overall. After dropping the opening set, Sinner snapped his own five-match losing run against Alcaraz, rallying to win 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4. The match lasted three hours and four minutes and delivered quality from start to finish. The Italian gained a crucial edge in each of the final three sets, becoming the first Italian man in history to win Wimbledon.
Looking ahead, Sinner now sets his sights on Roland-Garros next August, with a career Grand Slam firmly in his sights.
With this marking the first Wimbledon final since 2002 without Djokovic, Federer, Nadal or Murray, and with the past seven Grand Slam titles shared between Sinner and Alcaraz, the future of men’s tennis looks bright, and in exceptionally talented hands.
Świątek Makes History with Sixth Grand Slam Title
Wimbledon has a new name etched into its history books as Iga Świątek delivered a stunning 6-0, 6-0 victory in the women’s final. The Polish star needed just 57 minutes to overcome Amanda Anisimova, who struggled to find any rhythm and was plagued by unforced errors throughout. Remarkably, it’s the first time since 1911 that a Wimbledon final has ended with such a dominant scoreline. Świątek now claims her sixth Grand Slam title, adding to her four French Opens and one US Open, and will head into January’s Australian Open with the chance to complete a career Grand Slam.
Standout Moments of Wimbledon 2025
Before the trophies were lifted, Wimbledon 2025 delivered plenty of headline-worthy drama. A staggering eight top-10 seeds were knocked out in the opening round, marking the largest opening-round seed exit ever at a Grand Slam in the Open Era.
Cameron Norrie led the British charge with a spirited run to the quarter-finals. His campaign included a thrilling five-set win over Nicolás Jarry, showcasing his trademark grit and composure under pressure, although he was eventually stopped by Carlos Alcaraz.
In the women’s draw, world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka powered through the early rounds but was surprisingly knocked out in the semi-finals by Amanda Anisimova, in a match marked by tense momentum swings and off-court distractions.
On the men’s side, Novak Djokovic’s quest for another Wimbledon title came to an end in the semi-finals, where he was edged out by an inspired Jannik Sinner in one of the tournament’s most gripping contests. Djokovic did, however, reach a milestone with his 100th Wimbledon match win, becoming only the second player in history to achieve this.
