Alcaraz vs Sinner Wimbledon 2025 final highlights
The match started with promise for Sinner, who grabbed an early 4-2 lead in the opening set. But Alcaraz, showcasing the form that had fueled his 24-match winning streak, roared back with four consecutive games to steal the first set. Sinner bounced back strongly in the second. He broke Alcaraz right out of the gate and held serve confidently throughout, even navigating a bizarre interruption when a fan popped a champagne bottle mid-game, sending the cork tumbling to his feet as he prepared to serve at 2-1. The moment caused a brief delay, but Sinner maintained composure to close out the set.
Momentum fully shifted in the third, with Sinner breaking Alcaraz at 4-4 and sealing the set 6-4. After going ace-less through the first two sets, the Italian suddenly found his rhythm on serve, firing seven aces to gain the upper hand. The fourth set brought high drama. With Sinner serving at 4-3 and facing double break point at 15-40, he coolly reeled off four straight points to hold.
That gritty hold set the stage for the final push. Serving for the match, Sinner stayed rock-solid, eventually sealing the win and collapsing to the grass in disbelief. After a heartfelt handshake with Alcaraz, Sinner crouched at the baseline, emotionally pounding the turf in triumph.
The victory marks Sinner’s second Grand Slam title, coming just 532 days after his maiden major win at the 2024 Australian Open. That rapid rise puts him second only to Roger Federer, who needed just 434 days to claim his first four Slam titles between Wimbledon 2003 and the US Open 2004.
For Alcaraz, the loss brings an end to an extraordinary run. Entering the final, the 22-year-old was riding a 20-match win streak at Wimbledon, including back-to-back titles in 2023 and 2024, and had not lost on grass in 35 of his 38 tour-level matchesa record .on the surface in the Open era. Sinner, ironically, was the last man to beat him at SW19, back in 2022.
