Our photographer looks back at two glorious weeks of tennis in SW19
This year’s tournament saw a changing of the guard in the men’s singles, with 20-year-old Carlos Alcaraz beating the veteran reigning champion Novak Djokovic in the final. Djokovic’s defeat was his first in SW19 since 2017. In the women’s singles Marketa Vondrousova was the unlikely champion, becoming the first unseeded player in history to win the title. Away from the action it was also an eventful edition of the tournament, with protests, queueing chaos and geopolitics all making their presence felt.
