Sinner found salvation on the hallowed grass of Wimbledon dethroning the reigning champion Carlos Alcaraz. The Italian World No 1 won his first Wimbledon title to take his overall Grand Slam tally to four; avenging the heart-breaking loss to the World No. 2 Spaniard at the French Open from three championship points up. Jannik Sinner’s fluent serves, baseline heavy play and precise placements ensured that he shut out Carlos Alcaraz 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4. The 23-year-old is now the first Italian to win the singles trophy at SW19. For Alcaraz, it was a humbling experience as he was thoroughly outplayed, but for a brief period late in the opening set. It didn’t help that the 22-year-old came up with a disastrous serving performance, landing just over half of his first serves and dumping seven double-faults. By the time the US Open starts in September, Alcaraz would have ironed out his faults and we shall witness the next episode of this sterling tennis rivalry. As is said, "May the best man win."
