Jannik Sinner beats Carlos Alcaraz to win maiden Wimbledon title, takes revenge for French Open final defeat

Italian Tennis star Jannik Sinner put up a strong show on the green turf to beat Carlos Alcaraz and lift his first Wimbledon title on Sunday.

The Wimbledon final saw the same competitors facing each other for the second time in five weeks, when they had faced each other to clinch the French Open title.

The result this time was in favour of Sinner, who bounced back from the French Open final defeat to beat Alcaraz by 4-6 6-4 6-4 6-4.

Sinner is now the first Italian to win the Wimbledon singles title.

Sinner led by two sets and held three championship points before the Spanish world number two bounced back in a five-set classic that lasted more than five hours.

This was Sinner's fourth Grand Slam victory.

The defeat in England also ended Alcaraz's 24-match winning streak.

Sinner was quoted as saying by the Wimbledon website, “Winning Wimbledon is the most special thing you can have”.

“This is the part that I'm the proudest of because it really has not been easy. I always tried to be honest with myself and had the self-talk too, you know, what if, what if? I always tried to accept it, in a way,” Sinner said.
