The Wimbledon 2026 tournament delivered unforgettable moments, from Jannik Sinner's fifth grand slam title to epic five-set battles. Our awards recap highlights the best player, most courageous performance, and biggest drama of the championships.
Best Player: Jannik Sinner
It takes a certain amount of toughness and inner belief to keep moving forward after an excruciating setback. In the last match Jannik Sinner played before Wimbledon, he was on the receiving end of a shocking collapse in his French Open second-round loss to Juan Manuel Cerúndolo. He responded by gradually building in every round, turning in a flawless 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 win over Novak Djokovic. Then he 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 defines his play.
Most Courageous Performance: Linda Noskova
Linda Noskova made a frantic escape from Centre Court during the women’s final in the midst of potentially one of the most painful collapses of all time. Noskova led her compatriot Karolina Muchova 6-2, 5-2 before she squandered five championship points, conceded five consecutive games and found herself in a third set.
On her way to the bathroom, Noskova found herself face-to-face with the Venus Rosewater Dish and the runner-up plate. Seeing the trophy at such a pivotal moment would have been disruptive for many, but for Noskova it made her even more desperate to ensure she left with that trophy. Her recovery to win her first grand slam title was an impressive exhibition of resilience.
Best Match: Muchova vs Krejcikova
The all-Czech fourth-round match between Karolina Muchova and Barbora Krejcikova was as dreamy as it was on paper. They are two of the most skilful players around, armed with beautiful but potent all-round games with vast toolboxes of shots. The final score: Muchova bt Krejcikova 7-5, 5-7, 6-3.
