Jannik Sinner Seizes Wimbledon Glory, Ends Alcaraz’s Reign
Five weeks after his heartbreaking loss at Roland Garros, Jannik Sinner exacted sweet revenge, defeating defending champion Carlos Alcaraz his maiden Wimbledon title and fourth Grand Slam overall. The World No. 1 became the first Italian man in history to lift the Wimbledon singles crown, achieving the feat in his very first final at the All England Club.
In contrast to their marathon battle in Paris, where Alcaraz saved three championship points and kept his perfect major final record alive, Jannik Sinner flipped the script with clinical efficiency. Hitting deep into Alcaraz’s forehand and serving with increasing authority, the 23-year-old halted a five-match losing streak in their rivalry and became the first man to defeat Alcaraz in a Grand Slam final.
A Rivalry for the Ages
With this win, Sinner closes in on the career Grand Slam, needing only Roland Garros to complete the set. He now holds a commanding 3,430-point lead over Alcaraz in the ATP Rankings. The final marked a defining moment in what’s fast becoming tennis’s next great rivalry. “I’m really happy for you,” Alcaraz said in defeat. “You make me better every day.”
The Italian’s road to the title wasn’t without hurdles. He dropped just 17 games en route to the fourth round but needed an MRI after surviving a scare against Dimitrov. From there, he rolled past Shelton and Djokovic in straight sets.
A Champion’s Composure
In the final, Sinner rebounded from losing the first set by raising his level and maintaining composure under pressure. He sealed the title on his second match point, becoming Wimbledon’s new king after a three-hour, four-minute battle. With Alcaraz now 5-1 in Slam finals, the balance of power may be shifting.
