Italy and Poland celebrate Wimbledon 2025
View(s):This hard and long road begins with belief. An Italian and a Pole had it this year. They carved their name on the Wimbledon stone forever — Iga Swiatek of Poland and Jannik Sinner of Italy.
Ladies’ Singles played their semi-final matches against players whom they have beaten. Swiatek appeared fresh and made no mistake beating Belinda Bencic of Switzerland. Bencic was tired and suffered a 6-0 second set defeat.
Iga Swiatek
Sabalenka had to play Amanda Anismova of USA. They have beaten each other previously. After a long battle, level of exhaustion decided the fate of the outcome. Sabalenka let go the match unable to control her shot selection and emotion. The final match for the Wimbledon title of 2025 was between Swiatek and Anismova. Anismova, the heavily built American, was unable to play her best in the final. Her previous match against Sabalenka drained her completely. She stated this at her interview.
Men’s Singles final
Jannik Sinner outlasted Carlos Alcaraz rally after rally to a finish the match in his favour after losing the first set. Alcaraz tried every trick in the book. Sinner is an all court player and could move fast and long enough to conclude longer rallies in his favour. It was not Sinner’s ability to hit winners that gave him and Italy’s first Wimbledon title but his ability to outlast Alcaraz in all critical long rallies. Consistence in tennis is a deadly weapon and it demands perfect all-round ability to sustain through five long sets. A good match and the world saw tennis at its best.
Jannik Sinner
Both winners of Wimbledon 2025 Singles titles — Iga Swiatek and Jannik Sinner were the most competent players on grass. Their success again dismisses the notion that grass being the favourite surface for serve and volley. Europe has slowed down the grass courts and many grass events appeared in Europe. Australian Lleyton Hewitt, an Australian, won the Wimbledon in 2002 without playing at net, it set off new trend for slower grass courts and the specifics in groundstroke tennis for grass. He now assists other Australians.
Moving on grass court makes the calf muscles very tired. Nimble footed clay court players always have an issue here. Wimbledon’s rye grass lasted well into the final. Except for the patch immediately behind the baseline, the court was green even on the final day.
In both gender groundstrokes and ‘calculated combination move to volley’ dominated. Did big serves gave dividend? Yes! That is at speed over 130 mph, others returned. Even the women’s tennis achieved it. At that speed percentage drop in the first-serve made tactical effectiveness questionable. Bodyline serve was effective with rye grass kicking the ball upwards.
Italian invasion
Jannik Sinner’s title is the first for Italy. Strange, they had Nicola Pietrangeli and Adriano Pannata, yet could not. There were three Italians in the quarter-finals this year. Indicating Italian development base is solid.
Italy had three quarter-finalists for the first time and a total of seven players in the main draw. Lorenzo Sonnego, Flavio Cabolli and Janik Sinner reached the quarter-finals. France made the impact with 12 in the Men’s main draw. That is ten percent of the full draw. Englishmen Jack Draper and Cameron Norrie reached the quarters. These indicate the popularity of tennis in Europe. English player Emma Raducanu was impressive too.
WTA in Wimbledon
Difficult to believe that this is Iga Swiatek’s first Wimbledon title. She has dropped her family member team in favour of sports experts and it has made the difference. Family is too sweet and emotional. Professional sport and family business does not go together.
Italy made its make in Ladies draw too. WTA Top 10 player Jasmini Paoline lost in the very first day. [Too many seeded players caught the three-rainy-days of 2025, amazingly 30 in all].
Amanda Anisimova, lost too much energy beating Aryna Sabalenka, and she said that she could not even practice, and was tired. It was the same story with Switzerland’s Belinda Bencic. In all Swiatek won three love sets in Wimbledon final rounds. With more than five days lost with bad weather players had to cope.
Effective Development
The New-Gen programme, move of ATP player development, is the correct platform. Junior development was never a good platform; New-Gen model is from IMG. Tennis will move to the USA now for the final Grand Slam in New York. Concrete asphalt surface area. Fast and hard on the players body.
