Israeli Quad Tennis Player Guy Sasson Wins Wimbledon Doubles Title Again
Israeli quad wheelchair tennis player Guy Sasson and his Dutch partner Niels Vink secured their second consecutive Wimbledon doubles title on July 11, 2026. The duo dominated the final match, defeating Sam Schroder and Jin Woodman with a convincing 6-2, 6-1 victory in London. This win marks their third Grand Slam title together in 2026, further establishing their dominance on the international stage.
Sasson, 46, who is currently ranked third worldwide in the quad category, expressed that winning is becoming sweeter but also more challenging each time. He emphasized the strong partnership with Vink, saying, "We complement each other when we play together." Sasson, a bronze medalist from the 2024 Paris Paralympics, has overcome significant physical challenges after a severe skiing accident in 2015 and a category change three years ago due to worsening condition.
Moshe Mottalon, chairman of the Israeli Paralympic Committee, praised Sasson's achievement as a source of national pride and inspiration, especially for young people and recent war veterans. Sasson trains with Damien Martinik and continues to build an impressive record of international success, with this Wimbledon victory adding to his growing list of accolades.
