Jannik Sinner etched his name into tennis history on Sunday as he defeated Carlos Alcaraz to win his first Wimbledon title
The title makes him the first Italian to claim a singles crown at the All England Club
The world No. 1 overcame a slow start to beat the defending champion 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 in a high-quality final that lasted just over three hours on Centre Court. It was Sinner’s second Grand Slam title and a statement win over a rival who had previously never lost in a major final.
“I’m really proud of the way I handled everything today,” Sinner said after the match. “Carlos is an incredible player. We’ve pushed each other so much over the past couple of years, and I know this is just the beginning of many more battles.
After dropping the first set, Sinner raised his level, breaking Alcaraz once in each of the next three sets with clinical precision.
The 22-year-old’s consistent baseline play and sharp returning eventually wore down the Spaniard, who had been aiming for a third consecutive Wimbledon title.
