Jannik Sinner is the new king of Centre Court, overcoming defending champion Carlos Alcaraz in a gripping four-set final to clinch his maiden Wimbledon title.
The 23-year-old Italian showed poise and maturity beyond his years, bouncing back from a first-set loss to win 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4.
Sinner had lost a heartbreaking five-set final to Alcaraz just five weeks ago at Roland Garros. This time, he returned with steely focus, taking command early in the second set and refusing to let go.
With stunning forehand winners and tight service games, Sinner broke Alcaraz’s rhythm and ended the Spaniard’s dream of a third straight Wimbledon crown.
Alcaraz had chances to swing the momentum back in the fourth, including two break points, but Sinner’s nerve held firm.
His reaction after match point, arms raised and eyes skyward, captured the weight of the moment. Sinner is now a four-time Grand Slam champion, having won two Australian Opens, a US Open, and now Wimbledon.
It’s the first time Alcaraz has lost a Grand Slam final, and with both players aged 23 or under, tennis fans can expect this rivalry to shape the sport’s future. Wimbledon 2025, however, belongs to Jannik Sinner.
