World No. 1 Jannik Sinner made history on Centre Court by capturing his first Wimbledon men’s singles title, overcoming defending champion Carlos Alcaraz in four sets: 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4.
The final, billed as a high-stakes rematch of their French Open clash five weeks earlier, saw Sinner deliver a composed and tactically sound performance to earn his fourth Grand Slam crown.
Sinner had previously suffered a painful loss to Alcaraz at Roland Garros, where he failed to convert three championship points. This time, the Italian displayed exceptional focus and composure, breaking the Spaniard once in each of the final three sets.
His relentless precision and unwavering mentality were central to his victory, which now further cements his place at the top of the men’s game.
Memories of the French Open final were still fresh, but Sinner showed tremendous growth in handling pressure. Unlike in Paris, he converted his second championship point with an unreturnable serve, signaling his evolution into a more mature and mentally resilient competitor.
In post-match comments, Sinner downplayed the margin of difference, suggesting that outcomes at the elite level often come down to minute details. He admitted that luck had played a part this time, with a few crucial shots falling his way—just as they had for Alcaraz in Paris.
He also credited his intense preparation and the support of those close to him for helping him bounce back from his Roland Garros disappointment. According to Sinner, only his inner circle truly understood the difficulties he had faced both on and off the court in recent weeks.
He emphasized that he had intensified his training sessions, maintaining belief in his capabilities. Sinner recalled his mindset after the French Open loss, saying he had insisted it wasn’t the time to feel defeated, as another Grand Slam was just around the corner—and he had proven himself at Wimbledon.
Carlos Alcaraz, meanwhile, expressed admiration for Sinner’s ability to learn from past mistakes. He said he wasn’t surprised by the Italian’s performance, calling him a great player and a true champion.
According to Alcaraz, champions grow from losses, and he had anticipated that Sinner would adapt and avoid repeating the same errors from their last encounter.
The Wimbledon final marked a defining chapter in the emerging rivalry between Sinner and Alcaraz, promising more electrifying clashes in the future.
