Neal Skupski and Desirae Krawczyk take Wimbledon mixed doubles title

theguardian.com

The first silverware of this year’s Wimbledon was handed out on Thursday night, Britain’s Neal Skupski and American Desirae Krawczyk winning the mixed doubles title with a 6-4, 6-3 win over the Australians Matt Ebden and Sam Stosur.

It was the first time that the mixed doubles final has been played on a Thursday evening, moved from its usual slot after the men’s singles final on Sunday.

In part, the move was to try to avoid the half-empty stadiums seen in many years and to give the mixed doubles a unique slot of its own.

It also offered fans at Wimbledon on Thursday, traditionally a day when a ticket to Centre Court has two women’s singles semi-finals, an extra match, added entertainment and value for money. “Thanks for coming out to watch,” Krawczyk said.
