Italy’s Jannik Sinner wins first Wimbledon title

Italy’s Jannik Sinner sealed his first victory in the men’s singles tennis final at Wimbledon on Sunday against Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz.

Sinner needed  in three hours and four minutes to beat two-time defending champion Alcaraz in four sets (4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4).

The 23-year-old, who reached the Wimbledon final after his victory against Novak Djokovic, is already the first Italian to be ranked as the world’s No. 1 in men’s singles by the ATP.

Sunday’s match came just five weeks after the pair played an epic match to determine the French Open champion, which Alcaraz won after saving three match points in a 5-hour, 29-minute match — the longest French Open final in history.

This title marks a fourth Grand Slam singles title for the No. 1-ranked Sinner, adding to two Australian Opens and a US Open. 

His best prior Wimbledon results were semifinals in 2023 and 2024.
