Hsieh Su-Wei and Jan Zielinski brought the 2024 edition of The Championships to a close Sunday evening when they defeated Santiago Gonzalez and Giuliana Olmos 6-4, 6-2 to win the Wimbledon mixed doubles title.
The seventh seeds lost just one set in five matches to claim the trophy in their first appearance in the tournament as a team.
“It’s an unbelievable feeling playing a Wimbledon final in only my third attempt.,” Zielinski said. “I can’t even put it into words. I was dreaming about this moment for so long and it’s a privilege to be on the court, to step on the court. I remember it like it was yesterday watching 10 years ago Nadal and Kyrgios and this match, dreaming to even step foot on the court and today we’re Wimbledon champions. So it’s an unbelievable feeling and a great privilege.”
