The Winners of Wimbledon 2025
Jannik Sinner and Iga Swiatek were crowned the new King and Queen of Wimbledon 2025. This year’s tournament ran from Monday, June 30, 2025, to Sunday, July 13, 2025.
On July 13, Poland’s Iga Swiatek defeated the USA’s Amanda Anisimova, claiming her first Wimbledon Ladies’ Singles title. Both players were competing in their first Wimbledon final, but Iga quickly took control. She dominated the match with a stunning 6-0, 6-0 victory in just 57 minutes. No woman has won a Wimbledon final without dropping a game since Dorothea Lambert Chambers in 1911. “It seems surreal,” said Swiatek. “Honestly, I didn’t even dream of winning Wimbledon because it felt way too far. I feel like I’m an experienced player, having won other Slams, but I didn’t expect this.”
Also on July 13th, Italy’s Jannik Sinner, the world number one, defeated world number two and defending champion Carlos Alcaraz of Spain. Sinner rebounded after dropping the first set, using precise serving, deep returns, and baseline pressure to break Alcaraz’s rhythm. After a tough match, Sinner emerged victorious with a 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 score. Together, Sinner and Alcaraz have now won the last seven Grand Slam titles between them. Despite being fierce rivals on court, they share a strong friendship off the court. “It is so difficult to play you,” Sinner said to Alcaraz after the match, “but we have great relationships off the court.”
Great Britain’s Alfie Hewett returned to defend his Wheelchair Singles title against world number one Tokito Oda. In 2024, Hewett won Wimbledon by defeating Martin de la Puente 6-2, 6-2. On July 10, Hewett won the opening set, but Oda battled back to take the next two and claim the title. “Last year was obviously such a special moment for me, but I don’t think trophies compare to this atmosphere and this kind of support,” said Hewett after the match.
The Men’s Doubles winners are Britain’s Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool with a 6-2, 7-6 victory on Saturday. They became the first all-British duo to win the doubles title in 89 years. Russia’s Veronika Kudermetova and Belgium’s Elise Mertens are the 2025 Wimbledon Women’s Doubles champions after a thrilling final on Centre Court on Sunday. The Mixed Doubles winners are the Netherlands’ Sem Verbeek and Chechia’s Katerina Siniakova. The winners of the Wheelchair Doubles are Spain’s Martin de la Puente and the Netherlands’ Ruben Spaargaren. They defeated the favorites, British players Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid, with a score of 7-6 7-5.
