The tennis arena took a step into the future as new champions announced their arrival at the prestigious grass court. Iga Swiatek and Jannik Sinner walked right into the record books as they lifted the men's and women's singles Wimbledon 2025 titles respectively. Swiatek, who absolutely demolished Amanda Anisimova in the final, became the first-ever Polish player to win the Championships. Jannik Sinner, who produced a performance for the ages to curb the streak of Carlos Alcaraz, meanwhile, is now etched as the first Italian to claim the coveted Gentlemen's Singles Trophy. As per Wimbledon traditions, the final Sunday staged the Champions' Dinner, where both the ATP and WTA champions came together for a dance.

Iga Swiatek became the first-ever Polish player to win the Wimbledon Singles title

Iga Swiatek broke over a year-long WTA title drought in the most impressive fashion when she lifted the Wimbledon 2025 title. The season has not been easy for the former World No.1. At the cusp of the culmination of the last season, Iga Swiatek tested positive for TMZ, a banned doping substance. While the ITIA agreed with Swiatek's claims where she mentioned unknowingly coming in contact with the substance, the then World No.1 had to serve a one-month provisional ban. The ban, not disclosed then, led to the Polish seed missing the Asian swing of the WTA Tour before she returned for the WTA Finals in Riyadh. However, the Polish failed to emulate her previous performances, ousted early from the competition by Coco Gauff.

Following the conclusion, Swiatek lost her top rank to Aryna Sabalenka while the Polish fended for her next win in the new season. However, the victories didn't come through, with Swiatek even failing to defend her Roland Garros title. The season, furthermore, was filled with scrutiny for Swiatek, with the media and the fraternity taking jibes at the 24-year-old for her doping suspension. At Wimbledon, the Polish was aiming at her maiden grass-court Slam.

The Polish seed looked her aggressive best as she cruised past the likes of Clara Tauson and Belinda Bencic to enter the ultimate clash. Meanwhile, US seed Amanda Anisimova upset the World No.1 Aryna Sabalenka in the semi-final to reach her maiden Grand Slam final. However, as the match unfolded at Centre Court, Anisimova propped as no match to Swiatek. The Polish reigned 6-0, 6-0, annihilating Anisimova to claim her first Wimbledon title. As Swiatek extended her streak to 6-0 in Grand Slam finals, the 24-year-old became the first-ever player in the Open Era to claim a double bagel victory at Wimbledon.

Jannik Sinner held several streaks of Carlos Alcaraz to claim maiden Wimbledon trophy

The straightforward Women's Wimbledon final was followed by a tightly contested battle between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner. Coming to the Centre Court for Wimbledon 2025, Alcaraz had the chance to match Bjorn Borg, Pete Sampras, Roger Federer, and Novak Djokovic as only the fifth player to complete a three-peat at the grass major. Moreover, the Spaniard arrived boasting a spotless 5-0 winning streak in Grand Slam finals.

Jannik Sinner, who survived a fourth-round scare against Grigor Dimitrov, claimed a straight-sets win over 7-time Wimbledon champion Novak Djokovic in the semifinal. Against Alcaraz, the World No.1 had his Roland Garros final defeat to avenge and a 0-5 losing head-to-head streak to defy. While the two-time Wimbledon champion didn't make it any easier for Sinner, the Italian flipped the script at Centre Court. Making some unbelievable returns, laced with brilliant groundstrokes, Sinner beat Alcaraz 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 at the second match point to claim his maiden Wimbledon title.

At 24, Sinner now boasts 4 Grand Slam titles, while Swiatek extended her tally to five. Interestingly, the Wimbledon 2025 final was the first since 2002 to not feature any of the Big 3 in the title clash. While Alcaraz fell a bit short, together, the Spaniard and Sinner have announced their arrival. After clinching the most prestigious Grand Slam, Iga Swiatek and Jannik Sinner joined the traditional Champions' Dinner.

The newly crowned winners celebrate at the Wimbledon Champions' Dinner

Traditionally held on the final Sunday of the tournament following the men’s singles final, the black-tie affair is Wimbledon’s way of honouring its newly crowned champions. Though the tournament itself dates back well over a century, the Champions’ Dinner has only been a part of its fabric since 1977.

Photos released by Wimbledon’s official X account captured the champions’ dance, a symbolic gesture where both singles winners take the floor together. Sinner opted for a timeless black suit and tie, while Swiatek radiated quiet elegance in a flowing purple gown as the newly crowned champions celebrated their iconic wins.
