1877 to 2025: Full list of Wimbledon men's singles champions and runner-ups
Shashwat Nishant New Delhi
Jannik Sinner made history as the first Italian man to claim the Wimbledon men's singles crown. The 23-year-old delivered a stellar performance to beat defending champion Carlos Alcaraz in four sets, with a scoreline of 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4. Jannik becomes the first Italian man to lift this trophy, adding another Grand Slam to his collection on the day.
The tournament has the oldest history in all of Grand Slams, dating back to 1877 when Spencer Gore won the inaugural title.
Among these legends, Federer leads the pack with the most men's Wimbledon titles in the Open Era, having lifted the trophy a record eight times. As Alcaraz aims for a third straight triumph on grass, he stands on the verge of etching his name even deeper into tennis history.

Lost In Views, Sachin Tendulkar Shares Pictures With 'Woolly New Friends'
The Master Blaster is enjoying a vacation with his wife Anjali and Sara and shared pictures from the scenic countryside with sheep, playfully offering them leaves. Despite knocking off a half-century two years back, Sachin Tendulkar continues to age like a fine wine. The maestro Indian batter, who retired from international cricket after a legendary career in 2013, has been spending time out with his family on various vacations. He is currently in the UK with his wife Anjali and daughter Sara and loving the scenic valleys and greenery in the countryside. On Tuesday, July 22, Tendulkar shared a series of beautiful pictures and videos, where the Master Blaster is enjoying the greenery around with sheep giving him company. Known for his humorous streak on social media, Tendulkar gave the post an amusing caption: 'Lost in the views, making some woolly new friends." In a video, Tendulkar is seen giving leaves for the group of sheep to eat, soaking in the natural beauty of the place and its peaceful vibes. Tendulkar was recently in London for the third Test of the ongoing Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy with Anjali and Sara, enjoying the thrilling contest between India and England. He rang the traditional bell for the start of the play. The two great rivals gave the maestro plenty to cheer about in a Test that went to the final session of the final afternoon before Ben Stokes' men came out triumphant by 22 runs. Tendulkar also took time out for Wimbledon, expressing his love affair for tennis by watching some of the finest tennis players in action at the iconic event. He met fellow legends Roger Federer and Bjorn Borg at the Royal Box and shared a picture with them. During his time in London, Tendulkar supported former teammate and 2011 World Cup champion Yuvraj Singh's gala organised to raise support for his cancer awareness programme and charity 'YouWeCan'. The gala was also attended by Tendulkar's successor and former India captain Virat Kohli, who joined hands with Yuvraj for the noble cause along with Kevin Pietersen, Brian Lara, Ravi Shastri and many other former and current cricketing stars. Even the travelling Indian team, led by Shubman Gill, stood behind the cancer awareness cause and posed for pictures with the greats at the charity gala. view comments First Published: July 24, 2025, 00:04 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Venus wows in WTA comeback match, at 45
Mumbai: Those sizzling serves were back. So was the fiery competitiveness. And, of course, that signature wave-and-twirl sign-off. Venus Williams celebrates her win over Peyton Stearns during a match at the Washington Open. (AP) That's because Venus Williams was back. Playing, at times, like she hadn't left. She had, though, for a long time. So long that the WTA website, which had listed her playing status as 'inactive', doesn't list a ranking for the former world No.1. Activated and unranked, Williams turned up for her first singles match in 16 months and walked off having beaten a player ranked 35. At age 45. She can still fill up seats, as the packed main court for her Tuesday evening match at the WTA 500 Citi Open in Washington showed. She can still serve big, as her nine aces and 71% first serve points won showed. She can still be good enough to beat an opponent nearly half her age, as her 6-3, 6-4 victory over 23-year-old Peyton Stearns showed. The seven-time Grand Slam singles champion has won 818 WTA singles matches in a career that began at 14, yet this one at 45 was special. It made her the oldest player to win a tour level singles match since a 47-year-old Martina Navratilova at the 2004 Wimbledon. It came after she last played a singles match in March 2024, staying away while undergoing surgery for her long-standing struggles with uterine fibroids. It gave her the first victory in singles since August 2023, when she beat the then world No.16 Veronika Kudermetova in Cincinnati. Two years apart, Williams can still take down top-50 players on her day. 'Going into the match, I know I have the ability to win. But it's all about actually winning,' she said. And she was out there to actually win, not merely turn up for a touch of nostalgia. The tournament organisers handing her a wildcard raised eyebrows, but Williams had buckled down to train for this comeback. She had some weeks when she didn't know 'if I'm good enough yet', and some where she felt she'd taken a 'leap forward'. Come the day, she marched ahead turning back the clock not only on her serving and power game but also movement. Ahead of the match, Williams had promised to stick to her 'brand' of tennis ('I hit big'), and she did. Stearns, born the same year in which Williams captured her fourth singles Slam, tested her early on. Williams was up for it. Late in the second set, Williams also produced a wonderful lob at the back end of a bruising baseline tussle. 'She played some ball tonight,' Stearns said. 'She was moving really well, which I wasn't expecting too much, honestly.' This was no exhibition of a champion past her prime, this was serious business by a champion still up for a fight. And that also holds its charm in elite sport that loves its breakthrough tales. 'There are no limits for excellence,' Williams said. 'It's all about what's in your head and how much you're able to put into it. If you put in the work mentally, physically, and emotionally, then you can have the result.' Williams had the result she sought on her comeback. Would this be a one-off sighting, or does she see herself carrying on in singles (she also played, and won, doubles this week) for longer? The 45-year-old, who faces a stiffer test next up in Polish fifth seed Magdalena Frech, has those answers, even if she doesn't wish to blurt it out yet. 'I'm just here for now,' Williams said, 'and, who knows, maybe there's more.' Her return to playing wasn't the only news -- her engagement to Italian actor-producer Andrea Preti, 37 drew wider attention.

Golf: Theegala tees up in attempt to make Play-offs as Bhatia looks to rise in rankings
Blaine: Akshay Bhatia will seek to improve his position from the current 46th on the FedExCup points list, while for Sahith Theegala, who came back to action last week at the Open, the 3M Open is one of the last two chances to make the big jump into the Top-70 for the 2025 Playoffs. Bhatia is 46th on the list and 38th in the world. Theegala is 50th in the world ranking. While Bhatia and Theegala have full status for the Tour because they made the Top-30 Tour Championship in 2024, they are seeking a better ranking to get into the $ 20M Signature events next season. Theegala also plans to play a lot of Fall Season events after the Playoffs. For now, Theegala needs something like a win or a Top-3 in both events to have a chance to squeeze into the Play-offs. Theegala tees off with Maverick McNealy, the highest-ranked player in the field, and Max Homa, also looking to make the Playoffs. Bhatia plays with William Mouw and Jake Knapp. Last year, Theegala was Tied-sixth at the 3M Open, so it clearly suits him, but he had missed the cut on three earlier occasions, while Bhatia, in his first appearance at the event last year, was T-64. Bhatia, in his last five starts, has been in the Top-30 three times, including at the Open, but is still some way from the kind of form that saw him finish third at the PLAYERS. Theegala has missed his last two cuts, including at the Open, and his best this year has been T-17 at Genesis in February and then T-17 at Zurich Classic with Indo-British Aaron Rai. Also, the Indian-American duo will be looking to go up in the ranking to merit an invitation to Tiger Woods' elite Top-20 event, the Hero World Challenge, which both played last year and was fourth as Scottie Scheffler won a second time. The four majors, eight Signature Events, THE PLAYERS Championship, five Additional Events, and another 16 competitions are all done and dusted, and only two tournaments remain for the Playoffs to begin. After the 3M Open is the Wyndham Championship. Dozens in the field of 156 at the 3M Open who currently sit outside the bubble to qualify for the three-event series will be hoping for a good outing these two weeks, and Theegala is one of them. Maverick McNealy returns to the 3M Open as the highest-ranked golfer in the field, and he is also on the hunt for a spot on the U.S. Team at the Ryder Cup. McNealy finished tied for third last year in Minnesota and has six top-10 finishes so far this year. After his magical run in Europe, Chris Gotterup returns to the U.S. with momentum on his side. Gotterup won the Genesis Scottish Open and followed that up with a solo third at The Open Championship, while Jhonattan Vegas returns to the 3M Open looking to become the first golfer to successfully go back-to-back in the tournament's history. Other top stars include Sam Burns (22nd on FedExCup), Wyndham Clark (25th), Gotterup (23rd), and Sungjae Im (29th).
