World number one Jannik Sinner has won his first Wimbledon title after a victory against his main rival.

The Italian beat world number two Carlos Alcaraz in four sets, 4-6,6-4,6-4,6-4.

The clash between the two best players in the world was highly anticipated, following the dramatic final at the French Open only five weeks ago, where the Spaniard saved three match points, going on​ to win the match in a fifth set tie-break.

However, this time it was Sinner who came out on top, resolving the heartbreak of Paris.

The world number one only dropped two sets throughout the tournament on his way to the final, which came in a scare against nineteenth seed Grigor Dimitrov in the fourth round, where the Bulgarian found himself two sets up, before being forced to retire due to a torn pectoral muscle.

After the slip up against Dimitrov, Sinner would then return to his sublime-self, with two straight sets wins against Ben Shelton and Novak Djokovic.

As for Alcaraz, his tournament was a bit tougher on his route to the final, however his biggest scare came in the first round, having to push past the veteran Fabio Fognini in five sets, after a relatively poor performance by the Spaniards’ high standards.

But, despite their challenges, the best made it to the final day of Wimbledon 2025, and it did not disappoint.

Both players had major motivations going into the final, Sinner aiming to win his first Wimbledon title whilst Alcaraz looking to win three in a row.

The already two time champion was the man to take the first set, breaking the 23-year-old’s serve at 5-4 to take the opener 6-4.

As the second set began, the concentration of the Spaniard seemed lacking, with a poor opening service game Sinner had the break he needed and with an impressive set of strong serving the world number one took the set 6-4, with the score ​then at one ​set apiece.

From there the Sinner gameplay was just slightly stronger to that of his rival, with powerful groundstrokes from the baseline proving hard for Alcaraz to break down, who himself was having trouble with first serve percentage.

The eventual break came at 4-4 on the Spaniard’s serve and the pressure from Sinner paid off, with the 23-year-old then closing out the set on serve to make it 6-4 and two sets to one in favour of the Italian.

The fourth set, which ended up being the final set, w​ent fairly similar to the previous two, with Sinner getting the much desired break to make it 2-1.

From there the 22-year-old struggled to get close to the Sinner serve, however the opportunity arose at 4-3, with the Spaniard having two break points to potentially equal the scoring, though they weren’t capitalised on and the Italian held.

Sinner served it out at 5-4 in the fourth, winning the final set 6-4, meaning all sets only contained one break of serve each.

The Italian becomes the first man who isn’t Djokovic or Alcaraz, to win the championships since Roger Federer in 2017.

He also becomes the first Italian to win Wimbledon in the male singles game.

The head-to-head between the two now stands at five wins for Sinner and eight for Alcaraz and we cannot wait until these two great players meet again.
