Watch: Jannik Sinner and Iga Swiatek Keep up the Wimbledon Tradition with a Trademark Dance at the Champions’ Dinner

However, Sinner’s victory at Wimbledon comes just 10 weeks after returning from his three-month suspension for twice testing positive for clostebol. The 23-year-old was heavily criticized during that period as some former and current players believe that the system treated him specially because of his ranking.

Also, Swiatek was suspended last year for testing positive for trimetazidine. She served only a one-month suspension for doping. However, when she did return to tour she failed to find her former rhythm. It took until the grass court season for her to reach her first tour-level final before going on to win Wimbledon.

Jannik Sinner says he trained his best for the Wimbledon Championship

Jannik Sinner lost to Carlos Alcaraz in the French Open final just over a month ago. The Italian star was two sets up in the match before the Spaniard pulled an extraordinary comeback to claim the title. The defeat was heartbreaking for Sinner as he was hoping to claim his first Roland Garros.

He had to wait until the Wimbledon Championship to earn his revenge against Alcaraz. After beating the 22-year-old, he revealed to Tennis Channel that he trained like never before for the Wimbledon Championship:

Many things went through my mind when winning the title, such as how challenging the last months have been. Seeing my parents excited and enjoying it means a lot to me, it’s the most beautiful thing that has ever happened to me. I came here eager to give my best and the week before the tournament, I trained like I had never done before, I believe they were the best practice sessions of my life. That it paid off is a dream come true.

Sinner claimed four titles in the second half of the 2024 season, which means he will have to defend them in the second half of this year. Meanwhile, Alcaraz will just have one title to defend until the end of the year.
