Boys Singles.

17 y/o Aussie Cruz Hewitt 🇦🇺, with guidance from Tennis Australia and father Lleyton Hewitt, made the decision not to attempt to qualify for the Men’s Singles draw, and instead enter the Boys Singles.

The decision has certainly paid off, Hewitt making his way into the Boy’s final defeating three seeded players on the way and without dropping a set.

Hewitt defeated Spain’s 🇪🇸 Gonzalez-Galino 6-1 6-2 in the opening round.

He then overcame #14 seed France’s 🇫🇷 Domenc in Round 2 7-6 6-3.

In Round 3 Hewitt beat the #2 seeded German 🇩🇪 Mackenzie 6-3 6-4.

In the Quarterfinal Hewitt defeated the #9 seed Bulgarian 🇧🇬 Kisimov 6-1 6-2.

In the Semifinal Hewitt beat Dutch 🇳🇱 youngster Thijs Boogaard 6-4 6-4 to make his way to the Boy’s Final.

The 17-year-old become Australia’s first Boy’s Singles finalist at Wimbledon since Alex de Minaur 10 years ago 🇦🇺💪

In the Final Cruz met American Qualifier Jordan Lee 🇺🇸.

Hewitt started strong, taking the opening set, before Lee fought back to win 4-6 6-4 7-5, his first Grand Slam boys’ singles title and becomes the first qualifier to win the boys’ singles title at a Grand Slam since Noah Rubin won the same title at Wimbledon in 2014.

“I have a lot of memories from growing up around my dad when he was playing here, practicing on the courts with him, picking up balls. So, it's very special that I've played well here, and it would mean a lot.” Said Hewitt.

Congratulations Cruz Hewitt, Boy’s Wimbledon runner up.

Men’s Final

The defending champion, World #1, Italian Jannik Sinner 🇮🇹 taking on Roland Garros Champion, World #2, German Alex Zverev 🇩🇪.

The opening set saw both players come out playing their best tennis.

This was Zverev at his strongest, his most aggressive and his most confident – this was a Zverev that Sinner had not faced before. Certainly not in a Grand Slam final. And still the champion held firm.

With no breaks of serve, the opening set went to a tiebreaker, Zverev holding on to take it 7-6.

The second set was a replay of the first. No breaks of serve, another tiebreaker required. This time it was Sinner who took it 7-6 to level the match.

The third set brought an unexpected surprise: a break point to Zverev against the Sinner serve. It had taken two hours and 42 minutes to arrive, but here was an opportunity for Zverev. Then Sinner played a perfectly executed drop shot, his opponent tried to change direction, slipped and landed in on the grass clutching his right knee. Sinner was over like a shot to check if all was well and helped his opponent up.

Whatever the state of his knee, the jolt had rattled Zverev. From holding that break point, he went to serve and offered up a double fault and two missed forehands. Sinner had the first break of the match and a two-set to one lead.

The fourth set saw Sinner break serve and looking confident.
The Italian repelled the three-hour, 46-minute all-out attack from Alexander Zverev to win 6-7(7), 7-6(2), 6-3, 6-4, his 100th Grand Slam match win and his fifth major title 🏆.

“It has been an amazing final once again,” a delighted Sinner said. “It always takes two players, and me and Sasha, we try to give everything we have. I'm very happy of course about the win, but I'm mostly very happy about the level we both played.”

Congratulations to both for an amazing Wimbledon Final.

Czech 🇨🇿 mate

The 2026 Women’s Final was an all Czech encounter.

#9 seed 21 y/o Czech Linda Noskova 🇨🇿 taking on her doubles partner #10 seed 29 y/o Czech Karolina Muchova 🇨🇿.

Noskova started very strong, taking an early break of serve in the opening set, followed by another late break to claim the first set 6-2.

The second set started the same way with Noskova breaking serve early and establishing a 5-2 lead and setting up match points.
In an incredible comeback, showing her experience, Muchova battled back, incredibly saving five match points, wining five games in a row to take the second set 7-5 and send the match into a decider.

Once again Noskova broke serve early in the deciding set and managed to hold on to win the set and the match 6-2 5-7 6-3, claiming her maiden Grand Slam Singles title 🏆.

Congratulations to both for an amazing Wimbledon Final.

Men’s Semifinals

SF1 saw local hope and fan favourite Wildcard recipient Arthur Fery 🇬🇧 make his way onto Centre Court to play World #2, Roland Garros Champion, German 🇩🇪 Alex Zverev.
The opening set saw four breaks of serve before Zverev took control to win the tiebreaker 7-0. He kept control to win the match in straight sets 7-6 6-2 6-4. Zverev has now made the final of all four Grand Slam tournaments.

SF2 saw World #1 Italian Jannik Sinner 🇭🇺 take on #7 seed, seven times Wimbledon champion Novak Djokovic 🇷🇸.
It was obvious that 39y/o Djokovic had not fully recovered from his five hours and 15 minutes epic quarterfinal win. His usually razor sharp serve and return game was missing.
Sinner rolling into another Wimbledon final with a 6-4 6-4 6-4 win.

Sunday night’s final will see a well anticipated battle between the top two seeds, Jannik Sinner v Alex Zverev for the Wimbledon title 🏆
