Jannik Sinner made history as the first Italian man to claim the Wimbledon men’s singles crown. The 23-year-old delivered a stellar performance to beat defending champion Carlos Alcaraz in four sets, with a scoreline of 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4.
Jannik becomes the first Italian man to lift this trophy, adding another Grand Slam to his collection on the day.
The tournament has the oldest history in all of Grand Slams, dating back to 1877 when Spencer Gore won the inaugural title.
Among these legends, Federer leads the pack with the most men’s Wimbledon titles in the Open Era, having lifted the trophy a record eight times. As Alcaraz aims for a third straight triumph on grass, he stands on the verge of etching his name even deeper into tennis history.
