…The Italian proclaims himself champion of Wimbledon 2025, being superior from start to finish to an Alcaraz somewhat powerless against the solidity of his rival
There is always a first time for everything. Jannik Sinner managed to defeat Carlos Alcaraz in the Wimbledon 2025 final with a score of 4-6 6-4 6-4 6-4, causing the Spanish player to see a Grand Slam final slip away, an experience he had not faced before. It’s worth reviewing the details of a match that elevates the Italian, a deserving champion.
A special sensation ran through the minds and hearts of tennis lovers worldwide. The Wimbledon 2025 final was the opportunity to witness a new chapter in an intimate rivalry that could mark the history of this sport. Jannik Sinner sought revenge after what happened in Paris, while Carlos Alcaraz fought to add a new title to his record and extend his superiority over the Italian in their recent direct clashes.
The initial stages of the first set were a getting-acquainted phase for both players, like two old lovers who hadn’t seen each other in a long time and needed to slowly explore their relationship to regain lost sensations. Sinner took the first step in the battle, with a very accurate return game where he capitalized on Carlos’ second serves to make the break.
It was a wakeup call for the player from Murcia, who increased his leg intensity, quickened his hand, and quickly recovered. At 4-4 and brimming with confidence, Alcaraz brought out the magic wand and continued his comeback with two amazing games, full of magic and capitalizing on the Italian’s service doubts.
All the adrenaline put on the line to complete that comeback of four consecutive games faded at the beginning of the second set, as the Spaniard suffered a break whose long-term consequences were more lethal than expected. A minor lapse he tried to amend afterward, as he did in the initial set, with two break points where he came close to achieving it.
– Alcaraz’s low first serve percentage was crucial throughout the match
Sinner escaped the trap, finding his rhythm with the serve and stepping up from the baseline, gradually suffocating the Spaniard. Carlos stayed close and put everything on the line in the tenth game, but the Italian showcased his best form with two sensational points that sealed his partial triumph.
A low percentage of first serves, a feeling of suffocation from the baseline, Italian dominance from the early strokes, and a lack of tactical clarity. That deadly mix is what Carlos felt throughout the third set, where the scoreline didn’t quite reflect Sinner’s evident superiority. His serve and natural ability to maximize favorable situations in points prevented a more significant collapse for the player from Murcia, who found himself unable to respond to Jannik, capable of breaking serve in the ninth game and then consolidating his lead.
As distant in sensations as in the mental aspect. Carlos displayed his impotence with a clarity seldom seen in players at this level, and in the early stages of the fourth set, he conceded his serve. He couldn’t even find solace in his serve, seeing Sinner taking control with every shot and preventing him from seizing the initiative. Unable to make an impact with his shots, the Italian outplayed him relentlessly, minimizing his unforced errors to illogical limits.
With Sinner leading 4-3, the Wimbledon Centre Court turned into a venue in El Palmar, with all of the Spaniard’s friends unabashedly cheering him on. Alcaraz stepped onto the court with a different attitude, even reaching a promising 15-40 situation. However, Jannik found a way to dispel old ghosts and managed to secure a game that could have been a turning point. He earned a match point with his serve, and without hesitation, the one from San Candido sealed his victory. Jannik Sinner is a deserved champion of Wimbledon 2025, avenging himself against Carlos Alcaraz, who must now look to the future.
