Diede de Groot secured her 15th consecutive Grand Slam title with her victory in the women’s wheelchair final at Wimbledon and won her sixth singles title at the All England Club.

De Groot defeated fellow Dutchwoman Aniek van Koot 6-4, 6-4 on Court 1 on Saturday, sealing the win with a backhand serve return to extend her record streak of consecutive major titles and take her total to 23 – also a record.

She has won every Grand Slam tournament since the 2020 US Open and also has 19 major doubles titles.

De Groot, 27, said support for wheelchair tennis had grown significantly in the seven years since her first Wimbledon title.

“I played on Court 3, I think there were about three of my own fans watching,” she said of the 2017 final.

“So this time, here on Court 1, you’re all here and you’ve been so engaged with the game. You’ve cheered us on, you’ve supported us… Thank you for your support.”
