Jannik Sinner made history at Wimbledon 2025 by becoming the first Italian to win a singles title at the prestigious tournament. His four-set triumph over defending champion Carlos Alcaraz was not only a personal milestone but also a moment that resonated with fans across the globe. Among those watching from the Royal Box were William, the Prince of Wales, Catherine, Princess of Wales, and their children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte.
A lighthearted moment with George and Charlotte
After the match, Sinner met the royal family and shared a warm exchange with the young royals. He signed tennis balls for George and Charlotte, and even included one for their younger brother, Prince Louis, who was not present. During the brief conversation, Sinner asked the children if they played tennis and what kind of rackets they used. “In the beginning, I didn’t know what to say,” he admitted during his post-match press conference. “I always try to talk very natural.”
The significance of royal support
Sinner expressed how meaningful it was to have the royal family in attendance. “It was amazing,” he said. “I believe for us tennis players, it’s so nice to have them watching us because it makes it even more special. You see how much they care about tennis and the sport itself. It’s very prestigious. I’ve been lucky to meet her and the whole family, and it was a very nice moment.”
A growing bond between sport and royalty
The Princess of Wales, who serves as patron of the All England Lawn Tennis Club, presented the trophies to both finalists. Her presence, along with that of her children, underscored the royal family’s ongoing support for tennis. George and Charlotte, both budding fans of the sport, have attended Wimbledon in previous years, and their interaction with Sinner added a personal touch to an already memorable day.
