Jannik Sinner and Iga Swiatek win Wimbledon 2025
By Shivani Dubey | 14 July 2025 | Culture, Sport
Italy’s Jannik Sinner and Poland’s Iga Swiatek were crowned the Wimbledon men’s and women’s singles champions at this year’s tournament
On Sunday, 13 July, Wimbledon came to a glorious finish as Jannik Sinner initiated a thrilling comeback from his defeat at the French Open as he beat Carlos Alcaraz to win his first Wimbledon title. Just a day before, Iga Swiatek won the women’s singles title in a dominant display against Amanda Anisimova – winning the game in under an hour.
The Polish player defeated Anisimova in straight 6-0, 6-0 sets, leaving the American – who was playing in her first Grand Slam final – in tears by the end of the match. The last time a Wimbledon final saw such a scoreline was in 1911 when Dorothea Lambert Chambers beat Dora Boothby.
This win brings Swiatek’s Grand Slam tally to five, having previously won four French Opens and one US Open title.

Speaking after the match, Iga Swiatek called her victory “surreal”, and also showed some love to Anisimova, adding that she hopes to play more tournaments with her in the future.
“First of all I want to congratulate Amanda for an amazing two weeks no matter what happened today,” she said, adding: “I didn’t even dream [about winning] because it was way too far, I feel like I’m already an experienced player after winning the slams before but I never really expected this one.”
Meanwhile, Jannik Sinner ended Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz’s two-year streak at Wimbledon by beating him to win the men’s singles title in a thrilling final on Sunday. This is Sinner’s first win over Alcaraz in six attempts – making him the first Italian player to have a Wimbledon title.
“It’s so special, seeing my parents here, my brother, my whole team, it’s amazing,” Sinner said after the post-match presentation ceremony.

This match was a big redemption for Sinner, who had just a few weeks ago lost the French Open title in a thrilling five-hour-long final to Alcaraz.
“I had a very tough loss in Paris. At the end of the day it doesn’t really matter how you win or lose, you have to understand what you did wrong, try and work on that. That’s what we did, we accepted the loss. This is one of the reasons I’m holding this trophy here,” he said of the French Open.
“I’m very happy I held my nerves, it’s an amazing feeling. I never thought I’d be in this position. This was a dream of mine when I was young, I’m just living my dream,” he added.
