Tennis: Jannik Sinner defeats Carlos Alcaraz in the championship game at Wimbledon - Tennis Tournament: Jannik Sinner clinches victories over Carlos Alcaraz in the championship game at Wimbledon
In a thrilling turn of events, Jannik Sinner has made history at Wimbledon 2025, claiming his first title at the All England Club by defeating Carlos Alcaraz in a closely contested four-set match. This victory marks a significant milestone for Sinner, who has now closed the gap between himself and Alcaraz in the Grand Slam titles race.
The final scoreline read 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4, with Sinner successfully avenging his French Open final loss to Alcaraz. The Italian tennis star broke Alcaraz's serve for the first time at 3-2 in the opening set, but the Spanish sensation fought back to win the set. However, Sinner responded by breaking back and winning four consecutive games to take a commanding 6-4 lead in the second set.
Sinner's victory was not without its dramatics. The 22-year-old wore a white armband due to an injured right elbow in the round of 16, and he slipped twice on the worn-out grass behind the baseline during the final. However, Sinner remained composed throughout, securing his service game for a 6-4 win in the second set with three stunning counterattacks.
Alcaraz, who had shown signs of fatigue during the final, spent almost five hours longer on court than Sinner before the final. Despite this, he managed to break Sinner's serve in the third set, but Sinner responded by breaking back immediately. The third and fourth sets were tightly contested, with both players displaying exceptional tennis.
Sinner served better after failing to land an ace in the first two sets, and his superior serve proved crucial in the decisive moments of the match. The final point saw Sinner hitting a powerful serve that Alcaraz could not return, securing the victory for the Italian star.
This victory marks Sinner's fourth Grand Slam title, bringing him just one title behind Alcaraz, who has won five Grand Slams. Sinner's recent victory at Wimbledon also adds to his impressive collection of nine Big Titles, which includes four Grand Slams, one Nitto ATP Finals, and four Masters 1000s.
The Sinner-Alcaraz rivalry has become a centerpiece of men's tennis, with their matches drawing comparisons to the legendary rivalry between Federer and Nadal. While there was no Sinner-Alcaraz final at Wimbledon in 2023, their current rivalry is defining the era, with both now trading wins in the biggest matches.
This year's Wimbledon final was a significant moment for both players, with Sinner claiming his first title at the All England Club and Alcaraz failing to match Boris Becker's record of three Wimbledon titles and six Grand Slams.
