Jannik Sinner won his first Wimbledon title on Sunday by defeating Carlos Alcaraz in an exciting four-set final: 4–6, 6–4, 6–4, 6–4. It was a big moment for the 23-year-old Italian, who got his revenge after losing to Alcaraz in the French Open final just weeks ago.
The Centre Court crowd included many famous guests, and after the match, Sinner received his trophy from the Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton. But it wasn’t just his win that got people talking, it was his light-hearted joke about his brother during the trophy ceremony.
“Actually, a special thanks to my brother because there is no Formula 1 race this weekend, that’s why he’s here,” Sinner said, making the crowd laugh. This was a fun reference to an earlier moment in June, when his brother chose to watch Formula 1 instead of attending Sinner’s final at the French Open.
With this victory, Sinner became the first Italian man to win Wimbledon. Sinner’s win was not just a historic moment, but also a reminder that champions can be both fierce competitors and fun-loving family members.
