Jannik Sinner wins first Wimbledon title after beating Carlos Alcaraz

World No.1 Jannik Sinner won his maiden Wimbledon crown after his rival Carlos Alcaraz in a four-set contest. Sinner became the first Italian to win a title at SW19, registering a 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 win on Sunday.

After losing the first set, the 23-year-old bounced back and broke Alcaraz’s serve in the opening game of the second set. Sinner then dominated the rest of the contest and got over the line.

The Italian had suffered a heartbreaking loss in the Roland Garros final against Alcaraz despite having three championship points but he was able to avenge his loss.

“It’s mostly emotional, because I had a very tough loss in Paris,” Sinner said during the trophy ceremony. “But at the end of the day, it doesn’t really matter how you win or how you lose at important tournaments, you just have to understand what you did wrong and try to work on that, and that’s exactly what we did. We tried to accept the loss and just kept working. This is for sure one of the reasons I am holding this trophy here. I am just so grateful that I am healthy and have great people around me, and holding this trophy means a lot.”

Sinner congratulated Alcaraz for an amazing run at the championships and urged the Spaniard to keep working hard.

“Carlos, again, an amazing tournament, but mostly thank you for the player you are,” Sinner said. “It’s so difficult to play against you, but we have an amazing relationship off the court and on the court, we just try to build up, and to do that we need the best teams in the world. Keep going, keep pushing and you are going to hold this [trophy] many times. You already have two [titles]!

Reflecting on his run, “It’s so special. Seeing my parents here, my brother, my whole team, it’s amazing. Actually a special thanks to my brother, because there is no Formula 1 race this weekend, that’s why he is here.”

Sinner would look to carry his good form in the rest of the season.
