Wimbledon has concluded, with Jannik Sinner winning the men's singles title after defeating Alexander Zverev 6-7, 7-6, 6-3, 6-4 in an exciting final that brought the prestigious two-week championship to a close. Earlier, Linda Noskova defeated Karolina Muchova in the women's singles final, Henry Patten and Harri Heliovaara beat Mate Pavić and Marcelo Arévalo in the men's doubles final, Guo Hanyu and Kristina Mladenovic defeated Luisa Stefani and Gabriela Dabrowski in the women's doubles final, while Jeļena Ostapenko and Marcelo Arévalo overcame Marc Polmans and Storm Hunter in the mixed doubles final. 

While all the champions won on their own merit, they had one thing in common at the tournament: they all used towels made in India. More specifically, the iconic Wimbledon towels are manufactured in Vapi, Gujarat, bringing the tournament closer to India than ever before.
