Wimbledon 2025 Live: Sinner One Set Away from Maiden Wimbledon Title
Jannik Sinner is on the brink of claiming his first Wimbledon crown, leading defending champion Carlos Alcaraz 4-6, 6-4, 6-4 in the men’s singles final on Sunday. In a high-stakes encounter filled with intensity and drama, Sinner broke Alcaraz at 5-4 in the third set, putting himself just one set away from the title. This thrilling rematch comes just five weeks after their unforgettable French Open final.
Earlier, Sinner had taken control of the second set by breaking Alcaraz in the opening game and maintaining composure on his serve despite an unusual distraction—when a fan uncorked a champagne bottle during a crucial point at 2-1. The cork landed at Sinner’s feet, prompting Alcaraz to react with visible frustration. Still, the Italian regrouped quickly to hold serve and extend his lead.
This final marks another epic showdown in what is becoming one of tennis’s greatest emerging rivalries. Alcaraz, the 21-year-old Spanish superstar and current World No. 2, is aiming for a rare Wimbledon three-peat. Sinner, the composed and relentless Italian ranked World No. 1, is chasing history with his first All England Club title.
Their head-to-head has been fierce, with Alcaraz holding an 8–4 edge, including a stunning comeback victory at Roland Garros. That match extended his 24-match winning streak, the longest of his career. However, Sinner has won three of this year’s six Grand Slam events and was the last man to beat Alcaraz at Wimbledon—back in 2022.
Both players have had bumpy paths to the final. Alcaraz was tested early, surviving a five-set thriller in the first round and dropping sets throughout. Sinner, meanwhile, saw a bit of fortune in the fourth round when Grigor Dimitrov retired while leading, but dominated Ben Shelton and an out-of-form Djokovic to book his final spot.
This final isn’t just about the Wimbledon title—it’s a symbolic passing of the torch. With Federer, Nadal, and Djokovic fading from the scene, Alcaraz and Sinner are staking their claim as the defining rivalry of the new generation. Tennis fans are witnessing the dawn of a new era—and today, it might just belong to Jannik Sinner.
