Jannik Sinner wrote a new chapter for the history of Italy when he defeated Carlos Alcaraz to win the first Wimbledon 2025 championship in his career, and affirm his position in the competition to shape the new era.
Only 5 weeks after the pain of coming upstream at Roland Garros, Jannik Sinner returned to the Grand Slam stage with coolness and incredible bravery. Before a Carlos Alcaraz possessing the top form and a series of 24 consecutive victories, Sinner still stood firm, sublimated and won 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 in the Wimbledon 2025 final.
This is the fourth Grand Slam title in the career of the Italian tennis player, but most especially, it was the first trophy in Wimbledon – where never witnessed an Italian man crowned in the opening era.
“Respiration” Alcaraz and historic milestones
This victory was not merely a final, but the emotional response of Sinner before the painful defeat in Paris, where he once held three match point before being alcaraz coming back in the match that lasted nearly 5 hours and a half. This time, on the central grass, Sinner did not let that happen again.
The world's No. 1 player entered the active attacking style, putting the ball into Alcaraz's hand and keeping stability at key times. On the other side of the net, Alcaraz still showed the familiar stubbornness, but could not resist before a sinner too brave and cold in the decisive series.
“I went through a very difficult failure in Paris, but it was important to learn from mistakes and continue forward,” Sinner shared after the match. “This trophy is the result of an entire journey.”
Beautiful feud and “parallel” race of the future
The relationship between Sinner and Alcaraz is becoming one of the most attractive competition that the tennis village has witnessed since the time of Federer – Nadal. After this final, the two divided the last 7 Grand Slams, and seemed to be extending the legendary tradition of the rivals.
On the pitch, they fight. In the yard, they give each other a rare respect. “Playing with you is difficult,” Sinner told Alcaraz, “But I am sure you will win many more titles.”
In response, Alcaraz also showed the exemplary sports spirit: “Despite losing, I am very proud of my journey. Playing with Jannik helps me to progress every day.”
Speedy journey and historical mark
Wimbledon 2025 marked a booming tournament of Sinner: Only losing 17 games in the first 3 matches, both Ben Shelton and Novak Djokovic in white wins. Despite the minor injury in the elbow after the fourth round, the Italian player still resiliently walked.
With this title, Sinner became the first Italian to win the Wimbledon in history, and currently only lacked Roland Garros to complete the Grand Slam collection. He also widened the distance on the ATP rankings up to 3,430 points compared to Alcaraz, creating momentum for the second half of the season.
A new era is forming
