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 champion of the men's singles. What is already known is the new Wimbledon Junior 2026 men's champion: Jordan Lee.

The 16-year-old American, the youngest player in the entire draw, unexpectedly defeated Cruz Hewitt, son of the legendary player and winner of Wimbledon in 2002, Lleyton Hewitt, in a very tight final that could have gone either way. Lee came back and clinched the victory with a score of 4-6, 6-4, 7-5, after an hour and 56 minutes of play.

Here is the historic journey of Jordan Lee in Wimbledon Junior 2026

Thus, Lee finishes a journey that began in the qualifying rounds, 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 over the Spaniard Tito Chávez (6-3, 6-3) and over his compatriot Tanishk Konduri (6-4, 6-7(4), 6-3) in the round of 16. In the quarters, 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 1,768th in the ATP rankings, he was playing his first junior Grand Slam. Hence, 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 Philippoussis, or Caroline Wozniacki, among many others.
