Winners Take All
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Wimbledon 2017 just came to an end following a display of some superlative tennis, setting of new milestones and a revival of fond memories, leaving everyone wistful and already dreaming of a return to SW19. Here’s a look at some of the big winners and proud losers, in a package that is by no means comprehensive but will hopefully serve to whet the reader’s appetite for the glamour of grass. Have a look.
G.O.A.T: Roger Federer poses with the trophy after winning his eighth men’s singles title and 19th Grand Slam, becoming the oldest male player to do so and the only person since Bjorn Borg to win the championship without dropping a set. He now has the highest number of Wimbledon titles as well as Grand Slams in men’s tennis. He beat Croatia’s Marin Cilic in straight sets with a 6-3, 6-1, 6-4 scoreline, Reuters/UNI
TWO’S COMPANY: Garbiñe Muguruza poses with the Venus Rosewater Dish with Venus Williams by her side. The 23-year-old dual Spanish and Venezuelan citizen defeated the 37-year-old American 7-5, 6-0, becoming the first Spaniard to clinch the women’s singles title after Conchita Martinez did the same in 1994, beating Martina Navratilova, who was also 37 years old at the time. This is Muguruza’s second Grand Slam after the 2016 French Open and first Wimbledon title, Reuters/UNI
HARD-FOUGHT WIN: Poland’s Lukasz Kubot and Brazil’s Marcelo Melo celebrate with their trophies after winning the men’s doubles final against Austria’s Oliver Marach and Croatia’s Mate Pavic in a closely contested 5-7 7-5 7-6 (7-2) 3-6 13-11, Reuters/UNI
NO CONTEST: Ekaterina Makarova and Elena Vesnina, both Russians, celebrate their women’s doubles final victory against Taiwan’s Hao-Ching Chan and Romania’s Monica Niculescu 6-0 6-0, Reuters/UNI
BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME: An injury-ridden Andy Murray bowed out of the tournament, defeated in the quarterfinals by USA’s Sam Querrey in a grueling five-setter. However, his brother Jamie more than made up for it, lifting with the help of partner Martina Hingis, the mixed doubles trophy, after beating defending champions Heather Watson and Henri Kontinen 6-4 6-4, Reuters/UNI
