What doesn’t kill you will strengthen you
Jannik Sinner can be the world 1, but heading to the Wimbledon finals 2025, few of them believed that he could overthrow Carlos Alcaraza.
The chances were stacked high against Italian. Alcaraz won 20 direct matches in Wimbledon, a lane that contained two consecutive titles. He arrived at the final on the back of the 24-match undefeated run since returning from injuries to the Italian open. The most daunting of all, five times in a row defeated the sinner and dated to their semifinals in Beijing 2023.
The fans did not forget how Alcaraz dismissed Novak Djokovic – 24 -Ti Grand Slam winner – in direct sets in last year’s final. Every statistics, every memory, showed each story to the next coronation of Alcaraz.

But sport has a way to resist expectations – and on this occasion brought something truly unforgettable.
Just more than three hours later, he was a sinner who stood triumphantly in the center court, clutched Wimbledon Trophy, while Alcaraz settled behind the running plate. Under the pressure of pressure and against an opponent who looked inviolable, Sinner released for ages for ages-raising 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 victories that carved his name into the history of Wimbledon.
It’s not a repetition of the French open
More than a month ago, Sinner stood on the brink of his first Grand Slam title in Roland Garros. He took the first two sets against Alcaraz and seemed to lift the trophy. The final line was in sight – it could almost taste it. But what he didn’t see was fate.
Alcaraz, always a warrior, thrives when his back is to the wall. In this evening he returned and saved more points of the championship in the fourth set than he won at five – what happened to the second longest Grand Slam final in history.
Fast move forward to Sunday in Wimbledon. The script felt scary familiar. Sinner was two sets per up, and Alcaraz stood again in a position where he would have to win the fourth and fifth to keep his crown. Given his burnt form – undefeated in 24 matches since the return from the injury – no one would be surprised if the Spaniard had forced the referee. Many expected it. But this time Sinner had other plans.
The Italian had already let one slip – he earned a break in the opening set, but ran and served twice to pass it on. Since then, however, he has been unshakable. The sinner locked.
He did not allow Alcaraz a single break over the next three sets – although he faced the break points deep in the fourth. When he held up firmly in this tense game, you felt a shift. There would be no miraculous comeback, no fifth -nagging drama. Sinner didn’t let it go.
This time, Sinner’s turn was to develop fate – under his conditions.
Learn, work harder
Needless to say, the loss of the French Open was a bitter pill that she swallowed for the sinner. To approach his first title Grand Slam on the soil, just to see him slip away, he could break his spirit. But instead of retreating to his shell, Hinner lifted – like Phoenix from the ashes.
He took pain, lesson and breaking the heart from Roland Garros and turned them into fuel. With the renewed purpose and determination, he arrived not only for the competition, but conquered.
“Frankly, mostly emotionally. I had a very hard loss in Paris and at the end of the day, whether you win or lose – especially in big tournaments – what really matters is how you react,” Sinner said in an interview with the court.
“We tried to accept the loss, learn from it and work harder.
Before the Sunday finals, it was a sinner who in 2022 amazed Alcaraza in Wimbledon – a statement that indicated what was to come. Three years later he did it again and strengthened his edge over the Spaniard on the grass SW19. Interestingly, Sinner now holds a 2-0 record against Alcaraz at the Travní Court.
Until this triumph, Sinner was considered a hard scientific specialist – his three titles Grand Slam coming to the Australian Open and the US Open. But with this last victory in Wimbledon, he added another surface to his growing heritage.
Now only one piece is missing: Clay. With the fire in his stomach and four main companies already in his bag, Sinner undoubtedly turns his eyes next year Roland Garros and chases the last jewel in his Crown Grand Slam.
– ends
