World No. 1 Jannik Sinner dethroned two-time defending champion Carlos Alcaraz to seal his first-ever Wimbledon title.
The victory in three hours and four minutes was nearly two-and-a-half hours quicker than their Roland Garros epic.

Sinner, who was on the brink of defeat against Grigor Dimitrov in the fourth round until his pectoral muscle injury changed the course of tennis history, puts their rivalry back on a knife edge, with the 23-year-old now trailing Alcaraz only by five Grand Slam titles to four and putting an end to a five-match losing streak against the Spaniard.
It is also Sinner’s first major title away from his favoured hard courts, while Alcaraz suffered a first major final defeat, unable to find the same magic that had brought him back from the brink on the clay.
