Jannik Sinner crowned Wimbledon 2025 Champion after stunning Win over Carlos Alcaraz

 

Carlos Alcaraz's dream of winning a third consecutive Wimbledon title came to a crashing halt on Sunday, as Italy’s Jannik Sinner triumphed in four sets — 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 — to claim his maiden Wimbledon crown. In doing so, Sinner not only captured his first Grand Slam title on grass but also avenged his French Open final defeat to Alcaraz. The world No. 1 showcased why he holds the top spot, outplaying the Spaniard in a three-hour and four-minute battle.

Earlier this year at Roland Garros, Sinner had held a 40-0 lead while serving for the match, only to see Alcaraz stage a dramatic comeback and lift the trophy. At Wimbledon, Sinner didn’t let history repeat itself. Though he again dropped one point from 40-0 while serving for the match, he followed it up with a scorching ace that left Alcaraz with no response. Spreading his arms in celebration, Sinner soaked in the applause before collapsing to the grass, resting his head on his racket in emotional disbelief. Moments later, he tapped the grass twice with his palm and ran to embrace his team in the players’ box.

This victory made Sinner the first Italian player in history to win Wimbledon. With titles at the Australian Open and US Open already under his belt, he now only needs the French Open to complete a career Grand Slam — a feat achieved by only a handful of players in tennis history.

The match began with both players holding serve comfortably. In the fifth game, Sinner broke Alcaraz to go up 4-2. But the Spaniard, known for his resilience, broke back in the eighth game and then broke Sinner again in the tenth to take the opening set. Alcaraz appeared to be in full control, hitting 11 winners compared to Sinner’s six. However, the Italian’s unforced error count (13) allowed Alcaraz to seize the momentum.

But Sinner bounced back immediately. In the first game of the second set, he broke Alcaraz and held his serve to go up 2-0. Although he missed a break opportunity in the sixth game, he managed to maintain his composure, striking consistently from the baseline and keeping his error count low. Sinner’s improved accuracy and mental strength were evident, and after taking the set 6-4, he let out an uncharacteristic roar — a glimpse into the intensity he was bringing to the match.

Fans got exactly the kind of final they had hoped for: high quality, closely contested, and emotionally charged. After dropping the first set, Sinner used his serve, calm demeanor, and smart tactical play to claw his way back. It was his serve, the same weapon that dismantled Djokovic in the semifinals, that again helped him navigate out of tricky situations.

The third set followed a similar pattern, with both players focused on holding serve. But Sinner’s groundstrokes were beginning to dominate. His forehand and backhand winners were leaving Alcaraz scrambling. At 4-4, Sinner broke the Spaniard’s serve after a costly slip by Alcaraz while chasing a wide return, followed by a stunning backhand winner that gave Sinner a 5-4 lead. He closed out the set, taking a 2-1 advantage.

The fourth set followed the same script — both players holding serve early, but Sinner landing the crucial blow with a single break. Alcaraz had mounted several comebacks in similar situations before, but this time, Sinner remained unshakable. Despite the pressure, he closed the match on his second championship point with a blazing ace that sealed the title.

This was Alcaraz’s first loss in a Grand Slam final after five consecutive wins, and it also ended his 24-match unbeaten streak at Wimbledon. Sinner, meanwhile, firmly announced his arrival as a complete player — no longer just a threat on hard courts, but now a Grand Slam champion on grass as well.

Whether he’ll follow in the footsteps of Federer or Djokovic remains to be seen, but on Sunday, Jannik Sinner proved that the era of Carlos Alcaraz dominance on grass may now face a serious challenge.
