Sinner "avenges" Alcaraz, creating a historic milestone for Italian tennis at Wimbledon

Jannik Sinner made history when he came from behind to beat Carlos Alcaraz in four intense sets that lasted more than three hours. The victory gave him his first Wimbledon title and made him the first Italian player (male or female) to win the tournament.

The 2025 Wimbledon final went as expected, with extremely high professional quality. In the first set, Alcaraz started well, won an important break and ended the set with a classy save to win 6-4. However, Sinner was not discouraged, quickly responded in the second set with a break in the first game, maintained the advantage and won again 6-4.

Set 3 witnessed Sinner's bravery when he took advantage of Alcaraz's mistake in game 9, continuing to win 6-4. In set 4, Sinner got an early break in game 3 and played solidly to end the match with a score of 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4, thereby ending a 5-match losing streak against his Spanish opponent.

This victory not only helped Sinner have his first Grand Slam on grass but also confirmed his world number one position.

Thus, the two consecutive Grand Slam finals of Sinner and Alcaraz lasted a total of 9 sets with a playing time of up to 8 hours and 36 minutes.

Sinner said after the match: "This win is definitely important. When you lose to someone many times, it's not easy. But before, I felt I was very close. If you look at our matches... starting in Beijing, losing 6-7 in the third set. Then in Rome, I had a set point in the first set but couldn't take advantage.

In Paris, what happened happened. But I still felt close to winning. I was never discouraged. I always looked up to Carlos, because even today, I saw that he did a few things better than me. That's something we have to continue to improve and prepare for. Because he will definitely come back to challenge us. Not only Carlos, but many others."

Speaking further about his first Wimbledon title and Italian tennis, Sinner expressed: "It feels amazing. This is a tournament I've always dreamed of, just to play and be a part of, and now to be sitting here with the trophy. It's great, a great feeling,"

After the match, the Italian tennis player also received many congratulations from Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, along with compliments from legends such as Nadal, Bartoli and Pat Cash.

Sinner demonstrated his mettle and strong will, making the dream of the whole of Italy come true on the legendary Wimbledon grass.
