Wimbledon Men’s Final 2025 – Sinner Beats Alcaraz in Four Sets

Jack Henry Morgan Howard • 2026-03-24 • Reviewed by Daniel Mercer

Jannik Sinner captured his first Wimbledon championship on Sunday, July 13, 2025, dethroning two-time defending champion Carlos Alcaraz in a compelling four-set final on Centre Court. The world No. 1 from Italy secured a 4–6, 6–4, 6–4, 6–4 victory to claim his fourth career major title and become the first Italian singles champion in the tournament’s history.

The contest represented a swift rematch of the 2025 French Open final, with both players having navigated demanding paths to reach the championship match. Sinner’s triumph halted Alcaraz’s 5–0 record in major finals and denied the Spaniard a third consecutive Wimbledon crown, a feat last achieved by Roger Federer between 2003 and 2007.

Favorites and Predictions for Wimbledon 2025 Men’s Singles

Pre-Match Expectations

DraftKings listed both Sinner and Alcaraz as co-favorites entering the final, reflecting the razor-thin margins separating the world’s top two players. Betting markets struggled to separate the pair after Alcaraz had dominated grass-court tennis for two consecutive years, while Sinner sought his first title at the event.

Alcaraz carried significant momentum as a two-time defending champion, having not lost at Wimbledon since 2022. His five-match undefeated streak in major finals established him as the psychological favorite despite Sinner’s No. 1 ranking.

The Championship Outcome

Sinner overturned expectations by recovering from a set down to dominate the three subsequent sets.
