Overview

  • Sinner defeated Alcaraz in the Wimbledon final to claim his first title at SW19 and end Alcaraz’s 24-match winning streak at the event.
  • That victory propelled Sinner to his maiden world No. 1 ranking on the ATP Tour.
  • Mats Wilander has lauded Sinner’s disciplined work ethic as a more attainable model for aspiring players compared with Alcaraz’s rare natural talent.
  • On The Changeover podcast, Tallon Griekspoor highlighted Alcaraz’s superior net skills, drop shots and broader tactical options, suggesting his peak potential may still eclipse Sinner’s.
  • Tournament organizers have confirmed that Sinner and Djokovic will skip next week’s Canadian Open, and Spanish media report that Alcaraz has also withdrawn to manage fatigue before the US Open.
