Sensation in Wimbledon: Jannik Sinner Defeats Carlos Alcaraz

Sinner delivered an absolutely top performance. He played aggressively, made few mistakes, and repeatedly managed to put Novak Djokovic under pressure in the semifinals. Even though Djokovic fought, he often couldn't find the right answers to his opponent's powerful game that day. Sinner prevailed in the final against Carlos Alcaraz with 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4.

An End to the Streak

For Novak Djokovic, this defeat marks the end of his impressive winning streak at Wimbledon. He misses the chance to reach the final again and further expand his record. A rare disappointment for the exceptional player on his declared favorite surface.

Sinner in the Dream Final

Jannik Sinner, on the other hand, celebrates the greatest success of his career and now stands in the final. There, he faces the equally strong Carlos Alcaraz. This sets up a duel of the next generation's superstars, made possible by Sinner's victory over Novak Djokovic.

This semifinal will be remembered as the match where the throne at Wimbledon wobbled, at least for a moment, and a new contender impressively demonstrated his strength. A true tennis thriller with an unexpected outcome for Novak Djokovic.

Then: Victory at Wimbledon

On July 13, 2025, Sinner triumphed in the Wimbledon final against Carlos Alcaraz with scores of 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4. It was a high-level rematch: Alcaraz had narrowly won in the French Open final, but this time Sinner dominated after losing the first set. For the 23-year-old from South Tyrol, it is his fourth Grand Slam victory, but the first outside of hard courts – following two Australian Open wins (2024, 2025) and a triumph at the US Open (2024).

Royal Support and a Strong Finale

In front of the British royals and numerous celebrities in the box, Sinner demonstrated mental strength and tactical maturity. Particularly impressive: In the round of 16, he was two sets down against Grigor Dimitrov but benefited from Dimitrov's injury-related withdrawal. After that, Sinner showcased his best tennis, including in the semifinal against Novak Djokovic.

Alcaraz Remains Fair – and Winless

For Carlos Alcaraz, the lost final marked a first: He suffered his first defeat in a Grand Slam final. Previously, the 22-year-old Spaniard had won all five major finals. After 24 consecutive victories on grass, the streak ended in London, where he had triumphed in 2023 and 2024.
