For Świątek, it was her first Wimbledon title after years of struggling on grass courts. She had never won a grass-court title before this tournament. She had only reached the quarterfinals at Wimbledon once (2023) before this year.
Both players made history with their wins. Sinner became the first Italian man to win Wimbledon, while Świątek became the first Polish player to win the tournament.
While Świątek beat Amanda Anisimova 6-0, 6-0 in the women’s final, Sinner defeated Carlos Alcaraz 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 in the men’s final.
The Wimbledon Champions’ Ball That Created Special Memories
At the Champions’ Ball, the two winners traditionally share a dance together. Before the event, both players worried about their dancing skills. Sinner called it “a problem” and said he wasn’t good at dancing. Świątek had a similar reaction when reminded about the dance tradition.
However, when the moment came, both champions looked happy and comfortable on the dance floor. Photos and videos from the event showed them enjoying the traditional dance together.
Świątek wore a beautiful pearl blue Stella McCartney dress. Sinner looked sharp in a classic black suit.
