  • World No. 1 Jannik Sinner rallied from an opening-set loss to beat No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 on Centre Court on July 13, 2025.
  • The win marked Sinner’s first Wimbledon triumph and made him the first Italian man to lift the gentlemen’s singles trophy.
  • Alcaraz saw his bid for a historic three-peat end and his 24-match grass-court winning streak snapped.

  • Together Sinner and Alcaraz have won seven of the last eight Grand Slam titles, underscoring their dominance and a shifting generational rivalry.
