Jannik Sinner has ended Carlos Alcaraz’s 20-match winning streak at Wimbledon to become the first Italian player to claim a singles title at the Grand Slam.
He has become the first Italian to win the men’s singles title after coming from a set down against the Spaniard.
The world No.1 withstood a barrage of winners from the two-time champion to prevail 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4, and end his run of five consecutive losses to the Spaniard. Sinner now has four Grand Slam titles to his name, with the only major trophy missing from his collection being Roland Garros—the tournament where he suffered a heartbreaking loss to Alcaraz earlier this season.
The triumph ended Alcaraz’s career-best run of 24 straight wins on the Tour. He was bidding to follow in the footsteps of Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic by winning Wimbledon three times in a row.
