After a thrilling weekend of finals, Wimbledon’s newest tennis royalty—Iga Swiatek and Jannik Sinner—swapped their on-court grit for some serious red carpet glamour at the annual Champions Dinner on Sunday night.
With trophies in hand and the crowd still buzzing from their standout performances, the duo capped off their unforgettable weekends with an evening full of elegance, celebration—and even a dance.
Swiatek Storms to Victory in Record Time
Let’s start with Swiatek, who wrapped up her women’s final in jaw-dropping fashion.
In just 57 minutes, she double-bageled Amanda Anisimova, winning 6-0, 6-0 to not only claim the title but become Poland’s first-ever Wimbledon singles champion.
Dressed in a soft lilac gown by Stella McCartney, reportedly worth over $2,000, Swiatek looked every bit the champion.
After such a ruthless performance on court, her joy and humility off-court made her triumph feel even more special.
Sinner Turns the Tables on Alcaraz
The very next day, Jannik Sinner stepped onto Centre Court to face his rising rival, Carlos Alcaraz, who had beaten him at the French Open just weeks earlier.
But this time, it was Sinner who came out on top, fighting through four sets to lift his fourth Grand Slam trophy.
Speaking to BBC Sport afterward, the Italian opened up about how emotional the moment was, especially after the hurdles he’s faced both publicly and behind the scenes.
“Only the people close to me know how hard this journey has been,” he said.
“To share this with my family—it’s the most amazing thing that could’ve happened to me.”
A Dance, A Toast, and a Fresh Chapter in Tennis
With both champions crowned, they took centre stage once again—this time in cocktail attire—for the elegant Champions Dinner.
The tradition, held at the end of every Wimbledon, once featured a formal ball, but now leans more toward a celebratory meal with speeches and lighthearted moments.
That didn’t stop Swiatek and Sinner from sharing a sweet, impromptu dance on stage, to the delight of guests and photographers.
It was a nod to the good old days, reminiscent of that iconic 2015 moment when Serena Williams and Novak Djokovic danced to the Bee Gees.
Sinner, ever the fashion ambassador for Gucci, looked sharp in a classic dark suit paired with the brand’s signature loafers.
Together, the two champions made quite the pair—on and off the court.
Triumph, Tears, and Triumph Again
Sinner’s Wimbledon title comes just ten weeks after completing a suspension for two failed drug tests involving the banned substance clostebol.
While he didn’t dwell on the controversy, his post-match words hinted at the emotional weight he’s carried.
Meanwhile, Swiatek admitted that Wimbledon always felt out of reach—despite her growing list of Grand Slam titles.
“I didn’t even dream of winning Wimbledon,” she shared. “It just felt too far away.
Even though I’ve won other majors, this one felt different.”
Now a six-time Grand Slam champion, Swiatek’s surprise at her own success reminds us just how magical this tournament can be.
