Jannik Sinner remains focused on the future, rather than dwelling on his loss at this year’s French Open.
The Italian player achieved a notable victory on Sunday to secure his first Wimbledon title. Five weeks after losing three championship points and ultimately being defeated by Carlos Alcaraz in the Roland Garros final, Sinner defeated his prominent rival in four sets on the Centre Court at the All England Club, marking the first time an Italian has won a singles title at this prestigious grass-court tournament.
“It’s mostly emotional, because I had a very tough loss in Paris,” Sinner said during the trophy ceremony. “But at the end of the day, it doesn’t really matter how you win or how you lose at important tournaments, you just have to understand what you did wrong and try to work on that, and that’s exactly what we did.”
“Carlos, again, an amazing tournament, but mostly thank you for the player you are,” Sinner told his rival. “It’s so difficult to play against you, but we have an amazing relationship off the court and on the court, we just try to build up, and to do that we need the best teams in the world. Keep going and keep pushing.”
By securing his first Lexus ATP Head2Head victory over Alcaraz since 2023, Sinner renewed his competition with the Spaniard for the ATP Year-End No. 1 recognition, presented by PIF. The Italian has reduced his opponent’s lead to 1,540 points in the PIF ATP Live Race to Turin, which functions as a key indicator in the pursuit of the year-end No. 1 ranking. Sinner’s fourth attempt at a major title has consequently set the stage for an engaging remainder of the 2025 season.
