On-site at the All England Club for the prestigious Invitational Doubles, Bahrami had a courtside view of all the action during the iconic fortnight in London. A masterful technician and an eternal showman, Mansour Bahrami was naturally enthralled by the incredible runs of Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz, who clashed once again in a blockbuster final, just over a month after their epic thriller at Roland-Garros. Turning to the women’s draw, Mansour was full of praise for Iga Swiatek’s spectacular resurgence. The Polish star lifted her first-ever Wimbledon trophy, bringing her tally to six Grand Slam titles in six final appearances. Dominant from start to finish, Swiatek ended a year-long title drought and is now firmly back in the hunt to reclaim the No. 1 ranking, still held by Aryna Sabalenka, who was ousted in the semi-finals by the stunningly resilient Amanda Anisimova.
