Centre Court at the All England Club took center stage as Championship Weekend of 2025 Wimbledon came to an end. Read below for a recap of the Ladies' and Gentlemen's Singles finals, as two top players added a maiden Wimbledon title to their growing list of accolades.
Get 2026 TicketsIn her young career, two-time BNP Paribas Open Champion Iga Swiatek has already notched a vast array of accolades. The 24-year-old entered the 2025 campaign with 22 titles under her belt, including five Grand Slam titles. However, she entered Wimbledon stuck at that same tally, having not won a title at any level since her last Grand Slam at 2024 Roland Garros.
With many of the top players getting knocked out in the early phases, the path for the No. 8 seed to make a deep run at Wimbledon appeared to be fortuitous, and was certainly capitalized upon. Having dropped only one set on her way to the final, Swiatek's final obstacle to her first grass court Major was Amanda Anisimova. The red-hot New Jersey native rolled into her maiden Grand Slam final off the back of an upset of World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka, extending the streak of American women in Grand Slam finals to five in a row.
Anisimova, however, could not follow suit with Coco Gauff and Madison Keys by becoming the next American to win a Major in 2025. Appearing out of gas and one step slower through the entirety of the match, she could not keep up with Swiatek, whose zipping serve and pinpoint shotmaking only dialed up in the final. In a focused, intense and precise 57-minute display, there was never a doubt that the title was Swiatek's. The Polish star won 6-0, 6-0, claiming her sixth Major and entering the history books as the second woman to win a Grand Slam final without dropping a single game (last achieved by Steffi Graf at 1988 Roland Garros).
Widely regarded as the newest addition to the tennis "Greatest Hits" list, the five-set thriller between Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz at 2025 Roland Garros last month has left the sports world craving for the newest edition of drama. It didn't take long for this to be satisfied, as the World No. 1 and No. 2 collided in London for their second clash in a Grand Slam final.
This time, it was Alcaraz who claimed the first set, rebounding from an early Sinner break with two of his own, winning four consecutive games after facing a 4-2 deficit. With his trademark point to his ear before the roaring ovation of the crowd, it seemed like the Spaniard was picking up right where he left off.
Sinner responded magnificently in the second set, finding his rhythm while Alcaraz lost touch with his serve. He broke Alcaraz in the first game of the second set, this time withstanding any pressure to even the match at a set apiece. The following two sets offered more of the same, as Alcaraz was unable to break the Italian, who seemed to respond to each big shot with a bigger shot of his own.
Alcaraz showed visible frustration, while his typically stoically focused adversary showed some of his most passionate moments as he inched closer to his maiden Wimbledon title. With triple match points in his pocket once again, Sinner remained cool this time, serving out to win the match 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4. With two fists raised in the air in the warm embrace of Centre Court, Sinner became the first Italian, man or woman, to win Wimbledon.
With the Grand Slam count now at 5-4 in favor of Alcaraz, their next battle could come with higher stakes than ever before.
