Marcelo Arévalo and Jelena Ostapenko are now part of the Wimbledon 2026 winners' list. The duo formed by the Salvadoran and the Latvian became mixed doubles champions after coming back in the final against Australians Marc Polmans and Storm Hunter with a score of 4-6, 7-5, and 6-2, thus inaugurating the tournament's honor roll in this year's edition.

The second-seeded pair had to overcome a challenging start to the match. Polmans and Hunter began by dominating the game and clinched the first set with very aggressive tennis, seizing their opportunities in crucial moments. However, Arévalo and Ostapenko reacted with determination when it mattered most. After equalizing the score with a hard-fought 7-5 in the second set, they significantly raised their level in the decisive set to prevail convincingly and seal a highly commendable comeback on the grass of the All England Club.

First title as a pair... and first Grand Slam in mixed doubles!

For Marcelo Arévalo, this represents a new success in a career increasingly established in doubles competition. The Salvadoran continues to expand an enormously prestigious list of achievements and now adds the Wimbledon mixed doubles title, confirming once again his ability to perform at the highest level in the major events on the calendar.

For Jelena Ostapenko, the victory holds an even more special significance. The champion of Roland Garros 2017 removes a thorn that had been stuck since 2019 when she came very close to lifting the same trophy alongside Swede Robert Lindstedt. That time, she had to settle for the runner-up position, but seven years later, she has found the ultimate reward in becoming, alongside Arévalo, the first champion of the Wimbledon 2026 mixed doubles. The title also confirms the versatility of the Latvian, capable of shining both in singles and in various doubles categories throughout her career.
