Jul 11, 2025; Wimbledon, United Kingdom; Jannik Sinner of Italy celebrates winning his match against Novak Djokovic of Serbia on day 12 at All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club. Mandatory Credit: Susan Mullane-Imagn Images World No. 1 Jannik Sinner of Italy built an early advantage and shook off some late jitters to finish a 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 victory over No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz at Wimbledon on Sunday, giving Sinner his first win at Wimbledon and fourth Grand Slam win ever.
Sinner shook off an opening set loss to notch the major victory at the All England Club.
Previously a two-time winner at the Australian Open (2024, 2025) and a champion at the US Open in 2024, the Wimbledon win was his first Grand Slam final victory over Alcaraz and left him just the French Open — where he finished as runner-up this year — remaining to give him the rare career Grand Slam.
“Back in the days, when I was young, this was only a dream,” Sinner said. “I’m just living a dream.”
Making his first Wimbledon championship all the sweeter, Sinner ended a five-match losing streak to Alcaraz and ended the Spaniard’s 24-match winning streak.
In his first Grand Slam victory off of hard courts, the 23-year-old Sinner actually emerged as a winner as a slight underdog, as Alcaraz, 22, came in with an 8-4 advantage in head-to-head results.
A much anticipated rematch of an epic French Open final in June in which Alcaraz won a five-set marathon that lasted five hours, 29 minutes — the longest Roland Garros final ever — Sinner wrapped this one up in a tidy three hours, six minutes.
“It’s so special,” Sinner said. “I had a very tough loss in Paris. At the end of the day, it really doesn’t matter how you win.”
Sinner led 4-2 in the fourth set with a 2-1 set advantage and dropped a game before falling behind 40-15 in the eighth, but the Italian rallied to win that game and wrestle back control of the set at 5-3. From there, he put the finishing touches on with a commanding finishing game.
“Every moment can change the match, so I’m very happy I held my nerves.”
Utilizing a strong serve and playing aggressively near the net for much of the match, Sinner had 30 net points and 81 service points in earning 40 winners.
Alcaraz had 15 aces but was hurt by seven double faults.
“It’s always difficult to lose, even when it’s in the final,” Alcaraz said, pointing to a great off-court relationship with Sinner with an equally good on-court rivalry that has pushed him to get better. “Thank you very much, and congratulations.”
After dispatching Taylor Fritz in four sets on Friday, Alcaraz eventually became the betting favorite to take home his third consecutive Wimbledon title. Sinner swept through 24-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic to set up the rematch final.

Hodiny v letadle, nebo polský gigant? Outsider může Spartě zavařit
Daleko známější polský mančaft totiž minulý týden doma vyhrál jen 1:0.

Kazaši se navíc v nastavení marně dožadovali penalty.Na všeobecně očekávanou cestu do Kazachstánu tak nemusí vůbec dojít.

UEFA Women’s Euro standings, schedule, groups: Spain lead tournament in wins and goals scored
The simmering summer of soccer continues in Switzerland as the 2025 UEFA Women's Euro heads to the knockout rounds. The Swiss-hosted tournament has provided more than beautiful landscapes draped with the Alps and inviting lakes, but exciting football throughout the group stages. Teams in contention have been narrowed down from 16 to eight, and home nation Switzerland is giving locals a reason to cheer, while reigning title holders England are on the hunt for another title, and Spain have emerged as rivals for the trophy. Dark horses Germany and Sweden remain threats to spoil results along the way, while France keep making statements that this is there year. The competition began on July 2 and will conclude on July 27 with the championship final at St. Jakob-Park in Basel, where the last remaining two teams will compete for the trophy. The knockout […]
Dynasty Fantasy Football Running Back Rankings: Movement in Denver and Houston shakes things up
USATSI Truth be told, there is not generally a lot of movement in Dynasty rankings in the month of June most years. Occasionally we get a late free agency signing, like J.K. Dobbins and Nick Chubb this year. In my rankings, both of those guys actually fell in these rankings after they signed with their new team. I was holding out hope one of them would land in a better place like Chicago or Dallas and have a better chance at carving out a larger role. Dobbins still could in Denver, but I am not optimistic about anyone functioning as a true RB1 for Sean Payton this year. Chubb, to me, seems more like Joe Mixon insurance, so unless Mixon is still in a walking boot at training camp or suffers another injury, I don't expect Chubb to have much […]
