Last year's Wimbledon was full of thrilling moments as Carlos Alcaraz and Marketa Vondrousova emerged as champions, but this year, a new set of winners will be crowned in the iconic tennis Grand Slam. Over the course of the next two weeks, dreams will be made and crushed on the famous grounds of SW19.
While the men's and women's finals were the center of attention on the final weekend of last year's tournament, there were also plenty of deserving winners receiving trophies throughout the event. And as is tradition, all the victorious players came together for the Wimbledon Champions Dinner at the All England Club on the Sunday evening after the final matches.
Let's take a look back at the full list of winners from last year's Championships. In the men's singles, it was a nail-biting five set match between Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic. In the end, Alcaraz emerged as the victor and claimed his second Grand Slam title, adding to his previous win at the US Open the year before. It was an impressive feat for the then 20-year-old, who became the third-youngest man to win Wimbledon, following in the footsteps of legends Boris Becker and Björn Borg. The match took place on Centre Court, where Alcaraz stunned Djokovic and ended his 11-year undefeated streak on that court.
The women's final was equally exciting, with Czechia's Marketa Vondrousova securing her first Grand Slam title with a win over Ons Jabeur. Vondrousova made history as the first unseeded woman to win Wimbledon, while Jabeur's tears showed just how much this defeat meant to her, having also lost in the final the year prior.
Other notable winners at last year's Wimbledon include British junior Henry Searle, who became the first British boy to win the title since 1962. Searle, just 17 at the time, defeated Yaroslav Demin in straight sets on Court 1 to claim his victory. In the wheelchair division, Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid continued their dominance, winning their fifth Wimbledon wheelchair doubles title and 18th Grand Slam together. However, Hewett fell short in the singles final, losing to Tokito Oda. It was also a successful tournament for Neal Skupski, who won his first Grand Slam title alongside his partner Wesley Koolhof in the men's doubles.
As we look ahead to this year's Wimbledon, we can't help but wonder who will emerge as the champions. Will Alcaraz and Vondrousova defend their titles, or will we see new faces rise to the top? Only time will tell, but one thing is for sure, it will be an event filled with excitement, emotion, and unforgettable moments. Share your thoughts and predictions in the comments below.
