Jannik Sinner defeats Carlos Alcaraz to become Wimbledon champion
Jannik Sinner delivered a dominant performance to defeat Carlos Alcaraz in the Wimbledon final, in another thrilling chapter of the growing rivalry between two of the top players in men’s tennis. The Italian, current world No. 1, claimed his third Grand Slam title, conquering the All England Club and avenging his recent loss to the Spaniard at Roland Garros.
The World No. 1 Rules in London
This marked Sinner’s fourth consecutive Grand Slam final, and his first at Wimbledon a moment he seized with confidence and class. After previously defeating Novak Djokovic, the Italian showcased his finest form, ending Alcaraz’s reign as the two-time defending champion at the All England Club.
With this win, Sinner not only secures his place in the history books but also firmly establishes himself as the in-form player on the ATP Tour.
Revenge After Roland Garros
At just 23 years old, Sinner had unfinished business. In last month’s Roland Garros final, he squandered three championship points against Alcaraz in an epic showdown. That painful loss fueled his desire for redemption one he found in emphatic fashion on the grass courts of Wimbledon.
Between them, Sinner and Alcaraz have now claimed the last six Grand Slam titles, cementing their positions as the undisputed new kings of men’s tennis. Their rivalry, though still young, is already shaping up to be one of the defining duels of this generation.
Sinner Road to Glory
Sinner entered Wimbledon as the reigning US Open and Australian Open champion. After a brief and controversial doping suspension in May (later clarified as an administrative error), he returned to action and reached the Italian Open final, falling to Alcaraz, followed by a heartbreaking loss in Paris.
But in London, he rose again. With this victory, Sinner snapped a five-match losing streak against Alcaraz, narrowing their head-to-head to 8-6 in favor of the Spaniard. It's worth noting that Sinner had already defeated Alcaraz in the fourth round of Wimbledon 2022, which had been the last time Alcaraz lost at the All England Club.
Words from the New Champion
“It’s a great honor to share the court once again with Carlos,” said Sinner after lifting the trophy. “We always push each other to the limit. He’s definitely one of the players I admire the most. I love watching him play—and I think everyone agrees: he has incredible talent. It was a great match, just like the last one.”
A Prize Worthy of the Title
Along with the trophy, Sinner takes home a $4 million prize, a 7% increase over last year’s earnings. The new Wimbledon champion leaves the All England Club not only with sporting glory but also with a financial reward that reflects the magnitude of his triumph.
