Wimbledon awards 2026: best player, epic matches, biggest drama and more

Novak Djokovic’s five-set quarter-final thriller, Linda Noskova’s courage and Jannik Sinner’s class were among the highlights at SW19 grenadier.co.za

It takes a certain amount of toughness and inner belief to keep on moving forward even after an excruciating setback. In the last match Jannik Sinner played before Wimbledon, he was on the receiving end of one of the most shocking collapses ever in his French Open second-round loss to Juan Manuel Cerundolo. He responded by gradually building momentum in every round, culminating in a flawless 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 win over Novak Djokovic and then he brilliantly elevated his level against a peaking Alexander Zverev to defeat the new No 2 in four sets. Sinner’s run to a fifth grand slam title showcased his dramatic serve improvements, defensive skills, drop shots and lobs alongside the clean, vicious ball striking that has defined his career.
