LONDON — Jannik Sinner needed this victory. He wanted to win Wimbledon, of course, and it would have meant a lot to him no matter who the opponent was in the final.

Jannik Sinner ended a five-game drought against rival and two-time defending champion Carlos Alcaraz to win his first Wimbledon men's singles title on Sunday, 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4.

The No. 1 seed defeated Carlos Alcaraz, 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 in the 2025 Wimbledon men's singles final on Sunday to win the prestigious event. He prevented Alcaraz from making history and joining Björn Borg, Pete Sampras, Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic as the only men in the Open Era to win Wimbledon three straight years.
