Jannik Sinner Wins Wimbledon, First Italian Men’s Singles Champion

Jannik Sinner won his maiden Wimbledon title by defeating two-time defending champion Carlos Alcaraz 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 in the men's singles final, becoming the first Italian man to claim the Wimbledon singles crown in the Open Era. This victory marked Sinner's fourth Grand Slam title and ended Alcaraz's 24-match unbeaten streak, while also extending Sinner's all-time record for most Grand Slam singles titles won by an Italian man. Sinner earned £3 million (around $4.05 million USD) and 2,000 ATP points for his win, while Alcaraz received £1.52 million and 1,300 points as runner-up. With this win, Sinner set several records, including equaling notable players like Jim Courier in Grand Slam titles and becoming the 23rd man in the Open Era to win Wimbledon. Sinner has compiled an impressive Grand Slam match record of 81 wins in 100 matches, second only to Rafael Nadal since 2000, and has posted strong performances across all major tournaments. Their rivalry, highlighted by Alcaraz's previous dominance, now promises to be a defining feature in men's tennis going forward.
