Jannik Sinner delivered a commanding performance to beat defending champion Carlos Alcaraz 4–6, 6–4, 6–4, 6–4 in the Wimbledon men’s final yesterday, Sunday, July 13, earning his first title at the All England Club and fourth Grand Slam crown. After dropping the opening set, Sinner showed remarkable resilience, winning the next three sets with a blend of powerful baseline play and mental toughness. The Italian became the first from his country to secure a Wimbledon singles title and ended Alcaraz’s bid for a third straight win on the grass.
The turning point came in the fourth set when Sinner saved break points at 4–3 to solidify his lead before closing the match. His victory not only ends Alcaraz’s dominance in finals, breaking a five-for-five record, but also sets up an enthralling rivalry reminiscent of the likes of Federer and Nadal. This win inches Sinner ahead in the race for year-end No. 1, shrinking Alcaraz’s lead by 1,540 points.
