Overview

  • Jannik Sinner defeated Carlos Alcaraz in four sets to become the first Italian man to win the Wimbledon men’s singles crown.
  • Iga Świątek overpowered Amanda Anisimova 6-0, 6-0 in the women’s final, marking the first double-bagel championship match at Wimbledon since 1911.
  • Both champions served short doping bans this year after International Tennis Integrity Agency rulings found contamination in their samples and fully exonerated them.
  • Sinner avenged his French Open loss to Alcaraz, while Świątek added grass to her Grand Slam resume after earlier doubts about her performance on the surface.
  • Their victories underscore the waning dominance of the sport’s previous generation and highlight the rise of younger stars ahead of the hard-court season.
