Sinner wanted Wimbledon title, but needed to conquer Alcaraz first

Jannik Sinner needed this victory. He wanted to win Wimbledon, of course, and it would have meant a lot to him no matter who the opponent was in the final. That this championship, his fourth at a Grand Slam tournament, came via a win over Carlos Alcaraz made it all the more significant to Sinner and to the future of their burgeoning rivalry, the best men's tennis has to offer these days and, perhaps, for many years to come. It is important, for sure, the No. 1-ranked Sinner said Sunday night after prevailing 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 against No. 2 Alcaraz, because when you lose several times against someone, it's not easy. Sinner had lost five matches in a row against Alcaraz, none more disheartening than the one they played last month in the French Open final. Sinner grabbed a two-set lead in that one, then held a trio of championship points, before losing in five sets after 5 hours, 29 minutes. I keep looking up to Carlos, because even today, I felt like he was doing couple of things

Alcaraz-Sinner Wimbledon 2025 final mirrors 2008 Federer-Nadal rematch

It's fitting that the Wimbledon final between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner on Sunday represents the first time the same two men meet for that title right after playing for the French Open trophy since a couple of guys named Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal did so every year from 2006-2008. That's because the only real competition the No. 1-ranked Sinner and the No. 2-ranked Alcaraz face at the moment comes from each other not anyone else currently on the men's tennis tour and the only comparisons that feel somewhat appropriate come by measuring them against the greatness of the Big Three. Let's be clear: It's too early to put Alcaraz or Sinner in a class with Federer and Nadal each retired with at least 20 Grand Slam titles or Novak Djokovic, who is still going at age 38 with 24 majors. But as Djokovic himself put it: "We know they're the dominant force right now." Sinner and Alcaraz have combined to win the past 6 major titlesThey have combined to win the last six majors, a .

Novak Djokovic plans to return to Wimbledon for at least one more run

Novak Djokovic wanted to make this much clear after losing to Jannik Sinner in the Wimbledon semifinals Friday: This was not a farewell performance. Djokovic intends to compete again at the All England Club. I'm not planning to finish my Wimbledon career today, the 38-year-old Djokovic said. I'm planning to come back definitely at least one more time. His 6-3, 6-3, 6-4 defeat at Centre Court against the No. 1-ranked Sinner put an end to Djokovic's latest attempt to tie Roger Federer's men's record of eight championships at Wimbledon and to claim an unprecedented 25th Grand Slam title overall. Djokovic was not fully able to compete at his best level, two days after taking what he described as a nasty and awkward fall in the last game of his quarterfinal victory. I don't want to talk in details about my injury and just whine about not managing to play my best, Djokovic said Friday. I do feel disappointed that I just wasn't able to move as well as I thought or hoped that I would. He

Queen Camilla visits Wimbledon and watches QF matches at Centre Court

Queen Camilla returned to Wimbledon for Wednesday's quarterfinal matches a year after joining in the wave with a No. 1 Court crowd. Camilla, the wife of King Charles III, visited with All England Club chair Debbie Jevans in the morning before play got started at the grass-court Grand Slam tournament. At Centre Court, Camilla watched as unseeded Belinda Bencic beat No. 7 Mirra Andreeva 7-6 (3), 7-6 (2). British actor Hugh Grant was also seated in the Royal Box. Earlier, Camilla spoke to seven-time Wimbledon champion Novak Djokovic and met lead groundsperson Will Brierley, lead gardener Robin Murphy, heritage collections manager Malin Lundin, as well as a ball girl and ball boy. Djokovic declined to say what he and Camilla spoke about but said it was a nice exchange. Of course, it's a great honor and privilege for me to be able to shake hands with the Queen of England. I've had that honor, as well, 2010, with the late Queen Elizabeth, he said. Djokovic beat No. 22 seed Flavio Cobol

Sinner beats Shelton to reach Wimbledon semis despite elbow injury

Jannik Sinner sure didn't play like someone dealing with an injured right elbow Wednesday, using terrific serving and his usual booming forehand to dismiss 10th-seeded Ben Shelton 7-6 (2), 6-4, 6-4 and earn a second appearance in the Wimbledon semifinals. The No. 1-ranked Sinner wore a white sleeve on his right arm with strips of tape visible underneath one above the elbow, one below it two days after he was hurt when he slipped and fell in the opening game of his fourth-round match against Grigor Dimitrov. Sinner said he felt pain when he hit serves or forehands in that contest, and he dropped the first two sets before moving into the quarterfinals when Dimitrov quit in the third set because he tore a chest muscle. Sinner, a three-time Grand Slam champion and the runner-up to Carlos Alcaraz at the French Open last month, had an MRI exam on Tuesday and initially canceled a practice session that day but did hit some balls in a light session at an indoor court later.
