We have written a lot about tennis recently and that was all about the legends and their best performances but this is the first time we will be writing about what happened recently in tennis and that is the 2022 Wimbledon Championships and this time the Russian and Belarusian players were banned by Wimbledon and as a result the ATP and the WTA announced that there will be no ranking points given in this year’s Wimbledon making it less important but the quality of the tennis made it seem that this was the most important thing in the world.
This year the Wimbledon Championships were held from 27th June till the 10th of July and for those 2 weeks all the best tennis players be it male or female came to London and tried to win the coveted title. On the men’s side there was Novak Djokovic who was the 3 time defending champion and was looking for his 7th Wimbledon title and his 21st Grand Slam and Rafael Nadal who was looking for his 23rd and his 3rd of the year and on the Women’s side it was an even playing field. Let’s look at the different results.
Men’s Singles
The winner of the Men’s singles was yet again Novak Djokovic who won against Nick Kyrgioa in 4 sets to win his 4th consecutive and 7th Wimbledon title. It was not an easy ride for Novak as he had to face tough matches right throughout the tournament and Nick Kyrgioa was having the tournament of his life. And Rafael Nadal was looking great for a 23rd Grand Slam as well. Novak Djokovic has to beat the hometown hero Cameron Norrie in the semi final and it was a 4 seater and Nick Kyrgioa was set to go against Rafael Nadal but he bowed out of Wimbledon due to an injury which allowed Nick to play in the final. Novak Djokovic won the final 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 and 7-6.

Women’s Singles
This was the more interesting of the 2 Singles as it was anybody’s game as Emma Raducanu was the hometown favorite but she was ousted in the second round and Simona Halep was having a dream run yet again but it was stopped in the semi final by Elena Rybakina who got into her first Wimbledon final and on the other hand Ons Jabeur was making history by becoming the first Tunisian woman in a Grand Slam final so a first time champion was set to be crowned. And Ons Jabeur won the first set 6-3 but the comeback Elena made in the next 2 sets and by winning them both 6-2 and 6-2 was the deserving winner of the Women’s singles title.
Men’s Doubles
The doubles are something not a lot of people pay attention to and they should and this time the Men’s doubles final was a 5 set classic between the teams of Matthew Ebden and Max Purcell and Nikola Mektic and Mate Pavic.
