  • Iga Świątek delivered a 6-0, 6-0 victory over Amanda Anisimova for her first Wimbledon crown, marking the first double-bagel final since 1911.
  • Jannik Sinner defeated Carlos Alcaraz in four sets to become the first Italian man to win Wimbledon and claim his maiden grass-court major.
  • Sinner extended his hold on the ATP world No. 1 ranking to 58 consecutive weeks and joined the five-player club by surpassing 12,000 points.
  • Both champions resumed competition after brief ITIA suspensions—Świątek for trimetazidine and Sinner for clostebol—under no-significant-fault rulings.
