Sinner Captures First Wimbledon Title Over Alcaraz
Sunday’s Results from Wimbledon
World No. 1 Jannik Sinner capped off an impressive fortnight at Wimbledon on Sunday, defeating two-time defending champion Carlos Alcaraz 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4.
Needing three hours and four minutes to prevail, Sinner now owns four Majors. Sinner also snapped a five match losing streak to Alcaraz, improving to 5-8 in lifetime meetings.
Striking 38 winners, eight aces, and winning 75 percent of his first serve points, and breaking serve on four occasions, Sinner has now completed the remarkable feat of winning three of the four Majors, including the Australian and US Opens.
Alcaraz, who started the season in sub-par form for his standards, began to pick up the pace by racing through the clay-court season. Alcaraz captured titles in Monte Carlo, Monaco, Rome, Italy, Paris, France and Queen’s Club, London.
The Spaniard now owns 21 career titles.
Sinner, who has made the finals of the last four Majors, has now won 20 career titles. He has far and way been the most consistent player on Tour the past 18 months, and will head into next month’s US Open as the favourite to repeat his title.
Sinner ended the hopes of another title for Serbian legend Novak Djokovic in the semifinals for the second straight Major. The 23-year-old will remain the world No. 1 ranked player when Monday’s rankings are released.
Both Sinner and Alcaraz will next shift their focus to the hard-courts of North America. Both stars are next scheduled to take part in the National Bank Open in Toronto, Canada.

Dominant Swiatek Wins Sixth Grand Slam Title in Historic Wimbledon Fina
In a commanding performance on Saturday at the 2025 Wimbledon Championships, Poland’s Iga Swiatek captured her sixth Grand Slam title, defeating American Amanda Anisimova 6-0, 6-0 in the women’s singles final.
The match, lasting just 57 minutes, saw Swiatek in top form. The 24-year-old struck 10 winners, fired three aces, and won 72 percent of her first-serve points. She broke Anisimova six times en route to one of the most dominant women’s finals in recent Wimbledon history.
With the victory, Swiatek is projected to rise to World No. 3 in the WTA rankings when the updated list is released on Monday. It marks her first Grand Slam title since triumphing at Roland Garros in 2024.
Along with the prestigious Venus Rosewater Dish, Swiatek takes home a winner’s prize of £3 million.
For Anisimova, the Wimbledon final caps off a breakthrough fortnight. The 23-year-old American stunned top seed Aryna Sabalenka in the semifinals and is now set to climb to a career-high World No. 7. Earlier this season, she claimed her first WTA 1000 title in Doha, signaling her growing presence on the tour.
Both finalists will now turn their focus to the North American hard-court swing. Swiatek, a former US Open champion (2022), will be among the top contenders as the tour moves to Canada and the United States. Anisimova, who reached the final of the Canadian Open last year, will aim to build on her strong Wimbledon showing.
As summer tennis heats up, the rivalry between Swiatek and Anisimova could become a defining storyline heading into the US Open.
