Jannik Sinner and Iga Swiatek were able to dine in style after both stars won their first Wimbledon crowns. Polish star Swiatek produced one of the most ruthless final displays ever seen at SW19, beating Amanda Anisimova 6-0 6-0.
Sinner had a tougher affair, coming through a four-set battle with great rival Carlos Alcaraz on Sunday. Not only did the pair's victories mean silverware and huge prize money, but also an invite to the annual Wimbledon Champions' Dinner. They were joined by fellow tennis royalty for a black tie affair at Raffles London at The OWO, a luxurious hotel in Whitehall.
And their fancy dinner menu was shared on Instagram by British star Harriet Dart. The world No.178 wasn't invited as a champion herself this year, after losing in the first round of her home Slam.
The post showed that to start their three-course meal, Sinner, Swiatek, and co enjoyed an Orkney scallop paired with pumpkin risotto. That meal came with shavings of 24-month-aged parmesan and a drizzle of rosemary chicken jus.

The main course, a slow-cooked Hereford beef fillet, didn't disappoint either. It came with potato dauphinoise, carrots, braised short rib, and a helping of red wine jus.
For dessert, a summer Eton mess with blackberries, passionfruit, and a touch of Bermondsey bees' honey was served. The wine selection wasn't modest either, with options including a La Rose Creation, a 2022 French Chablis, and a 2023 Chianti from Italy.
After eating, Sinner and Swiatek spent minutes posing with their newly won trophies. They were also said to have performed the customary champions' dance, waltzing together to 'Feel It Still' by Portugal.
Sinner was able to enjoy the occasion despite admitting to sinking alcohol in the aftermath of his win over Alcaraz, saying: "We were drinking quite a lot in the last hours," he revealed. "A bit turning, the head, but it's all good."
