Jannik Sinner became the first Italian to win a Wimbledon singles title in 2025.
Sinner defeated Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz in the final, winning 4–6, 6–4, 6–4, 6–4. It was Sinner’s first Wimbledon championship and his fourth Grand Slam title overall. The victory also avenged his defeat by Alcaraz in the 2025 French Open final several weeks earlier.
The result marked a milestone for Italian tennis. Italian players had reached deep into Wimbledon before, but no Italian man or woman had won a singles title at the Championships. Sinner’s triumph therefore differed from simply becoming the latest Italian champion: he established the country’s first Wimbledon singles breakthrough.
A common mix-up is Matteo Berrettini, who reached the 2021 Wimbledon men’s singles final, and Lorenzo Musetti, who reached the semifinals in 2024 and 2025. Neither won the title. Sinner’s victory also ended Alcaraz’s perfect 5–0 record in previous major finals.
