Tennis star Jannik Sinner eliminates defending titlist Carlos Alcaraz in Wimbledon competition
Jannik Sinner etched his name in the annals of tennis history on July 13, 2025, as he claimed the Wimbledon men's singles title, defeating the two-time defending champion Carlos Alcaraz in an enthralling four-set battle (4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4)[1][3][4][5].
The victory marked a significant milestone for Sinner, not only because it ended Alcaraz's 20-match winning streak at Wimbledon but also prevented Alcaraz from securing a third consecutive Wimbledon title[1][3]. The high-profile crowd, which included the Prince and Princess of Wales and their children, as well as Spanish King Felipe VI and approximately 15,000 spectators, witnessed the growing rivalry between the two young stars[1].
Sinner's triumph came after a grueling French Open final against Alcaraz, which lasted over five hours and is considered one of the greatest Grand Slam finals ever played[1]. His resilience and evolution as a player were on full display at Wimbledon, as he claimed victory in his first tournament not won on hard court.
Ranked world number one, Sinner has risen swiftly to the elite of the sport. His impressive career achievements include multiple Grand Slam titles, such as the 2024 and 2025 Australian Opens and the 2024 US Open, as well as Masters 1000 titles and ATP Finals championships[2]. With his 2025 Wimbledon victory, Sinner has established himself as a trailblazer in Italian tennis history.
The match began with Alcaraz taking Sinner's serve to tie the first set at 4:4. However, Sinner seized the momentum in the second set, capitalising on Alcaraz's wobble on his serve at 2:2, allowing Sinner to take his first break chance[1]. Sinner served for the second set at 5:4 and played his best tennis, winning the set with an outstanding passing shot and a magic shot on set point.
Alcaraz struggled with himself and his game in the third and fourth sets, losing his serve twice and failing to find his rhythm[1]. Sinner, on the other hand, carried the momentum into the third set and couldn't be stopped on his way to the title. Alcaraz converted his second set point with a highlight, returning Sinner's powerful forehand and celebrating with the ecstatic crowd.
In the end, Sinner's ice-cold precision in the third set and his unwavering determination sealed the deal, making him the first Italian player to win the Wimbledon men's singles title. This historic victory will undoubtedly inspire a new generation of tennis players in Italy and serve as a testament to Sinner's remarkable talent and tenacity on the court.
