The atmosphere at Wimbledon is always charged with emotion, but what happened during and after the match between Jannik Sinner and Grigor Dimitrov touched the hearts of millions of fans around the world.
It all started with a gesture of pure humanity by Jannik Sinner: during the match, seeing Dimitrov fall to the ground due to a sudden injury, the young Italian tennis player interrupted the match to help his opponent , without caring about the result or the competition.
The gesture didn’t go unnoticed. Eiza González , Mexican actress and Grigor Dimitrov’s girlfriend, initially reacted harshly, posting a message that surprised many:
“I didn’t expect Italians to be like this” —a comment that seemed accusatory, but which turned out to be full of emotion and gratitude.
Shortly afterward, Eiza made her intention clear , saying:
“Thank you, Jannik. You helped my partner when he needed it most. It was a humane and courageous gesture.”
But the most touching moment came when Grigor Dimitrov himself broke the silence with a sentence of just five words :
“You saved me. Thank you, brother.”
Those simple, sincere and powerful words moved the audience and left Eiza speechless , visibly moved.
Sinner’s gesture and Dimitrov’s response transformed a sporting moment into a symbol of respect, humanity, and true sportsmanship. Wimbledon 2025 will be remembered not only for the points and victories, but for the humanity that shone on the court.
