Jannik Sinner, the world’s top-ranked tennis player, captured his maiden Wimbledon title on Sunday, becoming the first Italian ever to win the prestigious Grand Slam tournament.

Sinner overcame Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz—ranked world No. 2—in a four-set battle, securing victory with scores of 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4. The tightly contested final lasted 3 hours and 3 minutes, marking Sinner’s fifth win in their head-to-head encounters, against eight losses.

This triumph marks a historic milestone not only in Sinner’s career but also in Italian tennis, as no Italian player had previously lifted the Wimbledon trophy. His win adds to an already impressive season, solidifying his dominance on the global tennis stage.
