Overview
- In mid-July at The Championships, Jannik Sinner retained the gentlemen’s singles crown by beating Alexander Zverev and Linda Noskova captured her first Grand Slam at Wimbledon.
- Noskova, 21, survived match points earlier in the tournament and saved five match points in the final against Karolina Muchova before closing out the title.
- Sinner, 24, endured a five-set opening match against Miomir Kecmanovic and then steadied through the draw to complete a successful title defence.
- At the post-tournament Champions' Ball the two champions danced together to Justin Timberlake's 'Can't Stop the Feeling,' wore black formal outfits, and fans and media noted Sinner's marked improvement from his awkward 2025 appearance.
- The winners' dance revives a decades-old Wimbledon custom that was mandatory until 1977 and intermittently revived since 2015, and its warm reception could make the Champions' Ball dance a more regular public feature going forward.
