Jannik Sinner Tops Carlos Alcaraz to Win Wimbledon 2025

Jannik Sinner defeated Carlos Alcaraz 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 in the Wimbledon 2025 men’s final on July 13. The world No. 1 became the first Italian man to win the title.

His victory ended Alcaraz’s 24-match Wimbledon winning streak. The match lasted 3 hours and 3 minutes. Sinner avenged his French Open final loss to Alcaraz five weeks earlier. This win marked his fourth Grand Slam title.

Background of the Final

Jannik Sinner and Alcaraz, the top two ranked players, faced off in a highly anticipated clash. Alcaraz, the two-time defending champion, aimed for a rare three-peat.

Sinner, seeking his first Wimbledon crown, had lost to Alcaraz in their last five meetings. Their rivalry, a defining force in men’s tennis, intensified after Alcaraz’s five-set win at Roland Garros.

The final showcased relentless baseline rallies and tactical variety. Sinner’s resilience shone through despite a recent elbow injury and a doping ban earlier in 2025.

Jannik Sinner’s Career Highlights

Born August 16, 2001, in Italy, Sinner turned pro in 2018. He has won four Grand Slams: two Australian Opens, one US Open, and now Wimbledon. At 23, he’s the world No. 1, known for his powerful baseline game and calm demeanor. His 2025 Wimbledon win moved him to eighth on the ATP all-time earnings list with $45.6 million. Sinner’s only missing major is the French Open, where he fell to Alcaraz in 2024. His consistency and focus make him a rising star.

How Sinner Won

Alcaraz took the first set 6-4 with a stunning backhand winner. Sinner responded, breaking early in the second set and holding serve under pressure. His strong second serves, as Alcaraz noted, were key, allowing Sinner to attack after returns. He dominated the third and fourth sets with fewer unforced errors and precise shot-making. At 5-3 in the fourth, Sinner held three championship points, clinching the title with a perfect serve.

His composure and tactical adjustments outlasted Alcaraz’s brilliance

Carlos Alcaraz’s Reaction

Alcaraz, gracious in defeat, congratulated Sinner on his first Wimbledon title. “It’s always difficult to lose, but I have to congratulate Jannik,” he said. He admitted struggling with Sinner’s high-level play and strong returns, saying, “I didn’t know what to do at times.” Alcaraz, who smiled as Sinner celebrated, remains optimistic, noting this won’t be his last chance.

His first serve hit only 53%, hampering his game. He vowed to return stronger in 2026.

Sinner and Alcaraz have won the last seven Grand Slams, cementing their dominance. Their rivalry, compared to the Federer-Nadal-Djokovic era, promises more epic battles. Sinner’s win flipped Alcaraz’s 5-0 major final record. Both players, aged 23 and 22, are set to lead men’s tennis for years. Sinner’s coach, Simone Vagnozzi, emphasized his focus, saying, “Jannik’s gift is to block everything out.” The tennis world awaits their next clash at the US Open.
