Wimbledon 2026 is just hours away from ending, and little by little, the winners of the respective draws are being revealed. Yesterday, it was Linda Noskova in the women's singles, and in a few hours, we will know if Jannik Sinner or Alexander Zverev is the new winner of the men's singles. What is already known is who the new champion of the Wimbledon Junior 2026 men's category is: Jordan Lee.

The 16-year-old American, the youngest player in the whole draw, emerged as the unexpected winner against Cruz Hewitt, son of the historic player and winner of Wimbledon in 2002, Leyton Hewitt, in a very close final that could have gone either way. Lee came back to win the match with a score of 4-6, 6-4, 7-5 after an hour and 56 minutes of play.

This was Jordan Lee's historic journey at Wimbledon Junior 2026

In this way, Lee completes a journey that began in the qualifying rounds by defeating Casey Drake (6-2, 6-1) and Maxi Carrascosa (6-1, 6-4). Once in the main draw, he triumphed over Yannick Alexandrescou (6-0, 6-2), followed by a victory against the Spaniard Tito Chávez (6-3, 6-3) and against his compatriot Tanishk Konduri (6-4, 6-7(4), 6-3) in the round of 16. In the quarterfinals, he overcame Arnav Paparkar (6-2, 7-5), while in the semifinals, he defeated Vincent Reisach (6-3, 6-2).

With this success, Jordan Lee bursts onto the junior circuit and gradually enters the demanding professional circuit. Ranked at 1,768 in the ATP rankings, he was playing his first junior Grand Slam. Therefore, he will become one of the main attractions at the final Grand Slam of the season: the US Open junior.

The young American joins the privileged list of tennis players who have lifted the Wimbledon Junior title: Roger Federer, Ashleigh Barty, Victoria Azarenka, Grigor Dimitrov, Alejandro Davidovich, Stefan Edberg, Martina Hingis, Ivan Lendl, Amelie Mauresmo, Gael Monfils, David Nalbandian, Manuel Orantes, Jelena Ostapenko, Mark Philippousiss, or Caroline Wozniacki, among many others.
