Jannik Sinner claimed his maiden Wimbledon title on Sunday after a thrilling four-set victory over Carlos Alcaraz, beating the Spaniard 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 in a memorable Wimbledon 2025 final.
The world number one made history by becoming the first Italian to win Wimbledon, adding a fourth Grand Slam title to his name at just 23 years old.
This final not only marked a career milestone for Sinner but also reignited tennis’s newest and most exciting rivalry, taking center stage in the post-Big Three era of Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Novak Djokovic.
Sinner Gets Revenge, Ends Alcaraz Streak
Sinner’s victory came as sweet revenge for his heartbreaking loss to Alcaraz in the French Open final, where he led by two sets and missed three championship points. Before Sunday’s win, Sinner had lost five straight matches to Alcaraz, including a tough loss at the Italian Open following a return from a doping suspension.
But at Centre Court, the Italian flipped the script with a composed and commanding performance, breaking Alcaraz in key moments and maintaining control of the match with sharp forehands and cool-headed serves.
- “He stayed ice-cool,” one analyst said, describing how Sinner fended off two break points in the final set to hold on for the title.
Match Highlights – Momentum Shifts and Royal Spectators
The match began evenly, with both players holding serve until Alcaraz capitalized on a double fault to take the first set. The Centre Court crowd, which included Prince William and Princess Catherine, erupted with applause as the Spaniard showed flashes of brilliance.
But Sinner regrouped, breaking early in the second set and never looking back. A brief delay caused by a flying cork didn’t throw off his rhythm, as he leveled the match and took control in the third set.
In the fourth set, Sinner broke again and held firm, saving break points in the eighth game before calmly serving out the match on his second championship point.
Sinner’s Path to Glory
Sinner’s Wimbledon campaign was dominant from the start. He dropped just 17 games in the first three rounds, tying a record last set in 1972. In the fourth round, he got lucky when Grigor Dimitrov, who was leading by two sets, had to withdraw due to injury.

He then beat Ben Shelton in the quarters before stunning seven-time Wimbledon champion Novak Djokovic in the semi-final — a performance that many believe signaled the official changing of the guard.
Alcaraz Falls Short of Wimbledon Hat-Trick
Alcaraz, who was aiming to become only the fifth man in Open Era history to win three consecutive Wimbledon titles — following legends Borg, Sampras, Federer, and Djokovic — fell just short this time.
Despite the loss, the 22-year-old remains one of the biggest threats in men’s tennis and is expected to bounce back strongly.
