World No. 1 Jannik Sinner captured his first Wimbledon crown on Sunday, defeating two-time defending champion Carlos Alcaraz 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 on Centre Court. The 23-year-old became the first Italian player to lift the Gentlemen’s Singles Trophy and secured the fourth major title of his career, adding to triumphs at the 2024 US Open and the 2024-25 Australian Opens. Sinner’s victory halted Alcaraz’s 24-match unbeaten run and his bid for a third straight Wimbledon title, while handing the Spaniard his first defeat in six Grand Slam finals and snapping a 20-match winning streak at the All England Club. The final was a rematch of last month’s French Open, where Alcaraz prevailed in five sets. This time Sinner dominated the baseline exchanges, converting three of seven break points and winning 80 % of first-serve points to close out the contest in three hours and four minutes. Both men arrived in form: Sinner had swept past 24-time major winner Novak Djokovic 6-3, 6-3, 6-4 in the semifinals, while Alcaraz overcame American No. 1 Taylor Fritz 6-4, 5-7, 6-3, 7-6 (6). Their rivalry now stands at 1-1 in 2025 Grand Slam finals, underscoring a generational shift at the top of men’s tennis.
