Jannik Sinner makes history: first Italian to win Wimbledon

London, July 13, 2025 - A magical evening on Centre Court, where the Jannik Sinner, class of 2001, has written his name in tennis legend. In his third consecutive final among the top two in the ATP rankings, Sinner defeated defending champion Carlos Alcaraz by a score of 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4, winning his first Wimbledon grass title and fourth career Slam.

A historic feat

• It is the first Italian victory in men's singles at Wimbledon after 148 editions of the tournament.
• By beating Alcaraz, Roland Garros dominator and winner in both previous Wimbledon editions, Sinner breaks his unbeaten streak in the majors.
• At 23 years and 318 days, he is among the youngest winners to score: the first Grand Slam won on grass since the advent of the "Big Four" .

The match: balance, grit and revenge

1. First set 4-6: Alcaraz glides along, controlling thanks to powerful serves and smooth play.
2. Second set 6-4: Sinner reacts, breaking the Spanish rhythm with intensity and precision.
3. Third set 6-4: balance until the decisive break, the Italian's smile grows.
4. Fourth set 6-4: Sinner closes with doggedness, mental dominance and angled shots.
   Match of 3 hours and 4 minutes, with no short sets or sags: an elegant battle of character.

Reactions, numbers, and context

• The triumph is worth £2.35 million (about €2.7 mln) in premiums, while Alcaraz collects £1,4mln.
• The final attracted distinguished guests: the British royal family, including Kate Middleton and William, several international stars.
• On TV and social, immediately exploded the very Italian explosion of joy: "joy for the Sinner family," "revenge on Paris," "act of domination on the lawn" .

Only drawback: Nick Kyrgios, a former Rebel star, posted a cryptic asterisk on X, insinuating criticism regarding anti-doping, but Sinner's performance silenced any doubts.

Impact and future

• Sinner reaches a quota of four Slams (Australian Open 2024, 2025; US Open 2024; Wimbledon 2025), joining the elite of world tennis .
• His victory marks the end of the international cycle dominated by the former Big Four, a new chapter in global tennis .
• By winning Wimbledon, he completes the "triple major in one year": on top, on hard courts and now on grass, with the French Open the only absentee (where, however, he had lost in the final) .
