In a thrilling showdown at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in London, fans witnessed history as Chinese No. 4 seed Wang Ziying clinched her first Grand Slam title in the women's singles wheelchair final. Facing top-seeded Yui Kamiji of Japan, Wang powered to a 6-3, 6-3 win that left the crowd buzzing with excitement.
The match was a nail-biter from start to finish. Despite Kamiji’s impressive record—winning 8 out of their 9 previous encounters—Wang kept her cool. In a grueling first set that saw the crucial ninth game go to deuce nine times, she fought off pressure with five set points before storming into the next set and converting a match point to seal the victory.
This win is doubly historic as Wang becomes the first wheelchair player from the Chinese mainland to lift a singles trophy at Wimbledon. With 55 winners recorded during the match, her performance was a masterclass in determination and skill. After the final point, an elated Wang embraced her doubles partner Li Xiaohui as they prepared to face their next challenge in the women's doubles final later on Sunday.
