01 · THE DISPATCH

Israeli wheelchair tennis player Guy Sasson has added another Grand Slam title to his remarkable 2026 season, winning the Wimbledon men's wheelchair doubles crown on Saturday. Sasson and his regular partner, Dutch world No. 1 Niels Vink, defeated Sam Schroder and John Woodman in straight sets, 6–1, 6–2, according to Israeli sports commentator Ben Goldfriend.

This is Sasson's sixth career Grand Slam title and his third this year, following his Roland Garros doubles victory in June. He is now one major title away from completing a calendar-year Grand Slam, with the US Open remaining later this summer. Sasson and Vink have dominated the wheelchair doubles circuit, winning all three Grand Slam events they have entered together in 2026.

The victory continues a strong run for Israeli tennis at Wimbledon this year, following 16-year-old Dan Brand's first-round win in the junior singles tournament.
