Jannik Sinner clinched his first-ever Wimbledon singles championship in the men’s final on July 13, 2025, defeating two-time defending champion Carlos Alcaraz by 4‑6, 6‑4, 6‑4, 6‑4 in a match lasting just over three hours on Centre Court.

This victory marked a historic milestone—Sinner became the first Italian man to win Wimbledon singles, and he snapped Alcaraz’s five-match Grand Slam finals winning streak.
Reflecting on the win, Sinner said, “I am living my dream… it’s amazing… thank you to my team and fans… we try to keep pushing and become a better tennis player, but mostly a better person.’
