Last month, Sinner lost the Roland Garros final to Alcaraz, despite leading by two sets and having three championship points. That classic defeat put considerable pressure on him in this rematch, at the venue where Alcaraz had been champion for two consecutive years. However, the Italian served flawlessly, not losing a single break point in the final three sets. His return game was also strong, putting pressure on his opponent and winning each set by a narrow margin.

By defeating Alcaraz 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 on the afternoon of 13/7, Sinner claimed his first Wimbledon title. He has now won two of the three Grand Slams this year, maintaining his world number one ranking despite a three-month break. The 23-year-old previously faced significant mental pressure due to a doping incident last year. At Wimbledon, he was also nearly eliminated, trailing Grigor Dimitrov by two sets in the fourth round and even missing practice before the quarterfinals due to an elbow injury.
