Italy’s world number one Jannik Sinner beat defending champion Carlos Alcaraz 4-6 6-4 6-4 6-4 to win the Wimbledon men’s title on Sunday. Sinner won his first Wimbledon title to take his overall Grand Slam tally to four.
Jannik Sinner has claimed the second set 6-4 against Carlos Alcaraz, leveling the Wimbledon men’s final at one set apiece. Alcaraz had taken the opening set 6-4 in what has been a thrilling showdown between two of tennis’ brightest stars, just five weeks after their unforgettable French Open final.
Sinner made an early breakthrough in the second set, breaking Alcaraz in the opening game and maintaining his serve throughout. The set wasn’t without drama—while preparing to serve at 2-1, Sinner was briefly interrupted when a fan in the stands popped open a champagne bottle, with the cork landing near his feet. The incident left Alcaraz visibly frustrated, as he raised both hands and shook his head.
Though Sinner dropped the next point, he quickly recovered to hold serve and extend his lead to 3-1, ultimately closing out the set.
All eyes are on Centre Court tonight as World No. 1 Jannik Sinner faces defending champion Carlos Alcaraz in a blockbuster Wimbledon 2025 men’s singles final. The highly anticipated clash promises fireworks as the 23-year-old Italian looks to stop the 22-year-old Spaniard from clinching a historic third consecutive Wimbledon crown.
Sinner has been in sensational form this season, dropping only two sets en route to the final. After dismantling Novak Djokovic in straight sets in the semis and winning the Australian Open earlier this year, he now chases his second Grand Slam of 2025.
Alcaraz, the reigning champion, is aiming for his sixth major title and a rare Wimbledon hat-trick, an elite feat achieved by just four men in the Open Era.
The showdown has unfolded in front of an A-list crowd. Kate, Princess of Wales, returned to Wimbledon alongside Prince William and their children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte. As patron of the All England Club, Kate is scheduled to present the trophies.
They are joined by King Felipe VI of Spain and a star-studded Royal Box lineup including Keira Knightley, Matthew McConaughey, Nicole Kidman, John Lithgow and London Mayor Sadiq Khan, among others.
