This weekend, Rolex Testimonees Iga Świątek and Jannik Sinner lifted the trophies at The Championships, Wimbledon for the first time. In a re-match of their spectacular Roland-Garros final last month – and serving as the latest chapter in their blossoming rivalry – Sinner and fellow Testimonee Carlos Alcaraz brought the curtain down on this year’s tournament on Sunday afternoon. The 15,000 spectators witnessed an enthralling display of power and precision on Centre Court, with Sinner raising his level and demonstrating steely resilience to triumph 4–6, 6–4, 6–4, 6–4 in 3 hours 4 minutes. Rolex has stood as a proud partner of Wimbledon and the players striving for Grand Slam® glory since 1978. Its clocks have become a symbol of tennis excellence and tradition, keeping time over the sport’s greatest contests for almost 50 years.

Sinner joined the Rolex family in 2020 and has since ascended to the top of the game. At 23 years of age, he is the first Italian to win the title and achieve four Grand Slam® victories. After the match, Sinner said: “First of all, I would like to start with Carlos. Again, an amazing tournament but mostly, thank you for the player you are. It’s so difficult to play against you and we have an amazing relationship off the court. You are going to hold this trophy many, many times. You have already two!”

On Saturday afternoon, Świątek became the only active women’s player to win a Grand Slam® title on all three surfaces. The 24-year-old was a picture of elegance and composure on her journey to a 57-minute 6–0, 6–0 victory in the ladies’ singles final. Showcasing her improved movement on the grass, Świątek struck the perfect balance between raising her intensity and maintaining patience at crucial moments. Świątek, a Rolex Testimonee and six-time Grand Slam® champion, discussed how it felt to become the first Polish player to win Wimbledon: “Honestly, I didn’t even dream of this moment because for me it was way too far. It’s the tournament with the greatest tradition, so I think playing well here and winning this title is the biggest achievement in tennis. The atmosphere at Wimbledon and the way it is organized is just perfect.”

The anticipation only increased when early on a new ladies’ singles champion was guaranteed. At just 18 years of age, rising talents Mirra Andreeva and João Fonseca continued their breakthrough seasons. On his Wimbledon main draw debut, Fonseca equalled his best Grand Slam® performance by reaching the third round, while Andreeva showed tactical versatility en-route to securing a quarter-final spot for the first time.

Little more than 15 months since the birth of her daughter, Belinda Bencic achieved her best run at Wimbledon to reach the last four, where she played an inspired Świątek. Now firmly established as one of the sport’s most consistent performers on tour, Taylor Fritz navigated back-to-back five-set matches to set up a showdown with the reigning champion, Alcaraz. The Spaniard demonstrated his remarkable adaptability to extend his 24 match-winning-streak from clay to grass, while lighting up Wimbledon with his unique flair and talent.
Rolex Testimonee Roger Federer Watches the Action on Centre Court In 2025
Several members of the Rolex family joined Federer in returning to Centre Court, the scene of some of their most memorable moments, including Björn Borg, who won five consecutive Wimbledon titles from 1976–1980. Borg reflects:” Walking back to the dressing room with the trophy in your hands is such a special experience, but to be honest, every time I won the Wimbledon title, I never wanted to leave Centre Court. The crowd was cheering me on, and I had accomplished a lifelong goal – it was one of the best feelings ever. To see Rolex’s presence at this event and be a part of the story with them, means a lot to me personally. Somehow it feels like I’m still part of the tournament because of this relationship.”
