Jannik Sinner, Iga Swiatek Turn Heads in Photos at Champions Dinner
Italian Jannik Sinner and Polish Iga Swiatek were seen dressed up for the dinner in a post on the official Wimbledon X account.
To be clear, there's nothing to show the two were at the dinner as a couple, just as the most successful tennis players of the tournament.
Both certainly proved why they're each ranked number one in the world.
However, they did dance together as part of the longstanding tradition at the nearly 150-year-old tournament where the singles champions share a dance. Though the dance surely is not quite that old since Wimbledon only started allowing women's singles in 1884 after first starting the tournament in 1877.
Sinner, 23, won his first ever Wimbledon title after defeating Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz, 22, in the men's singles final on July 13, 2025. In doing so, he became the first Italian to ever win Wimbledon, according to the tournament's official Instagram.
Sinner wore a simple black suit with a narrow black tie to the dinner.
Swiatek, 24, wore a long, light blue dress and some fairly simple jewelry.
She's also celebrating her first ever Wimbledon title, and sixth grand slam win in her career.
She dominated in her match against American Amanda Anisimova, 23, who herself was having quite the impressive tournament until the final match, where Swiatek swept the court.
Hopefully the pair don't have quite as awkward of a dance as Alcaraz had in 2024, when he danced with women's singles winner Czech Barbora Krejcikova, 29.
Alcaraz admittedly could use some dancing lessons.
"Let's say, could be better I guess. Yeah, let's see tonight, but I try to do my best," he told talkSPORT in 2024, after winning Wimbledon.
While the dance is generally considered tradition, in later years it hasn't always been mandatory, and the dinner and dance were canceled altogether in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The dinner and dance are usually held at The Lawn.Jannik Sinner, Iga Swiatek Turn Heads in Photos at Champions Dinner first appeared on Men's Journal on Jul 14, 2025

Nottingham Forest rival Napoli with opening Ndoye bid
Premier League side Nottingham Forest have sent an official offer for Bologna winger Dan Ndoye, reports Fabrizio Romano. Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reports that Nottingham Forest have sent an official offer for Bologna winger Ndoye. Nottingham Forest send opening Ndoye offer The Swiss international is Napoli's top priority target for the attacking winger position, where the Partenopei have already signed a reinforcement in Noa Lang. According to Romano, however, Forest are serious about their interest in the player, having sent an offer to sign the 24-year-old. Romano adds that Ndoye has already approved a potential move to Forest, so it's now up to Bologna to negotiate a transfer fee with Forest. Bologna discussing Ndoye contract extension Bologna director Marco Di Vaio said earlier this week that the Rossoblu had not received official offers for Ndoye, adding that the club was already discussing a contract extension with their star winger. Ndoye scored eight goals and provided four assists in 30 Serie A appearances last season and scored the decisive goal in a historic Coppa Italia Final won by Bologna against Milan.

Nottingham Forest keen on move for Dan Ndoye of Bologna
Nottingham Forest are keen on a move for Bologna winger Dan Ndoye. Ndoye, 24, joined Bologna from Basel in the summer of 2023 and has registered 12 goals and 15 assists in 97 appearances since. Forest's move for Ndoye comes after selling Anthony Elanga to Newcastle United for an initial £52million ($70.7m) earlier this month. The City Ground side were among the clubs interested in signing fellow wide man Johan Bakayoko for PSV Eindhoven, but the Belgian has since joined RB Leipzig. Advertisement Bologna sporting director Marco Di Vaio said his side were in talks with Ndoye about extending his terms when asked about Forest's interest in the player at a gala dinner on Friday. 'The boy has some interest, but not officially from any team,' Di Vaio told reporters, per Tuttomercatoweb. 'We're also talking to him about the possibility of extending and improving his contract, and he's also open to it. The goal is to maintain the team's structure and make as few changes as possible.' After recording only one league goal during his debut season in Italy, Ndoye scored eight times, adding four assists, in 30 Serie A games last term. He also helped Bologna win the Coppa Italia, scoring the only goal during his side's 1-0 win over AC Milan in May's final. The Switzerland international played off both flanks last season, having also operated down the middle earlier in his career. Bologna have already added a winger to their squad, with Federico Bernardeschi joining on a free transfer after his exit from Toronto FC. Forest are unlikely to find a direct replacement for Elanga, who remains one of the fastest players in the Premier League. But in Ndoye, they would be signing a player with explosive qualities. The Swiss is not as quick as Elanga (who is?) but he has enough speed to beat his man and he has a proven end product. He provided eight goals and four assists in Serie A last season and, like Elanga, he is a player who is capable of carrying the ball swiftly up the pitch. Ndoye averaged 5.54 progressive carries per 90 minutes in the Italian top division, giving him a percentile of 94 among the other players in the competition. Similarly, his average of 9.70 progressive passes received was in the 93rd percentile. Capable of playing on either side, Ndoye would, in theory, fit well into Nuno Espirito Santo's style of play. Advertisement Ndoye played eight times in the Champions League for Bologna last season and previously featured in the Conference League while with Basel, so he does have valuable European experience, as well as 22 caps for his country. At 24, Ndoye has his prime years still ahead of him, while still potentially having the ability to improve in the future.
