Jannik Sinner has etched his name into the history books, becoming the first Italian man to win Wimbledon after defeating Carlos Alcaraz in a gripping four-set final on Sunday night. The 23-year-old triumphed 4–6, 6–4, 6–4, 6–4, ending Alcaraz’s unbeaten streak in Grand Slam finals and avenging his own loss to the Spaniard just five weeks earlier at Roland Garros.
The match opened with Alcaraz in command. The defending champion looked poised for a third straight Wimbledon title, taking the first set with his trademark blend of power and flair. But Sinner, calm and clinical, refused to fade. He found his rhythm in the second set, breaking Alcaraz’s serve at a crucial moment and never looking back.
From that point on, it was Sinner who dictated play. His serve was rock solid, his groundstrokes deep and precise, and his temperament unshakable. Each of the final three sets followed a similar script: long rallies, small margins, and Sinner holding firm when it mattered most. By the end, it was Alcaraz who blinked, misfiring a backhand that handed Sinner the championship.
“This means everything,” Sinner said on court, holding the trophy under the Centre Court lights. “To win here, against Carlos, in this atmosphere... it’s hard to put into words.”
It was a fitting finale to a tournament that had seen Sinner quietly dominate the draw. With this win, he not only claims his first Wimbledon title but also strengthens his claim to the No. 1 spot in men’s tennis. For Alcaraz, the loss marks his first defeat in a Grand Slam final after five straight wins — a rare dent in what has otherwise been a spectacular rise.
Despite the loss, the 22-year-old Spaniard was gracious, calling Sinner “an unbelievable player” and promising that their rivalry is “just getting started.”
With the Big Three era now in the rearview, Wimbledon 2025 may be remembered as the moment tennis officially passed the torch to a new generation. And right now, Jannik Sinner is carrying it.
