Siner takes the crown from Alcaraz: The Italian won at Wimbledon for the first time in his career

Three years ago, Janik Siner defeated Carlos Alcaraz (3:1) in the round of 2023 of Wimbledon and eliminated him from the tournament. This was followed by a two-year domination by the Spaniard, Alcaraz won the title at the biggest tennis tournament in the world in 2024 and XNUMX, today he had the opportunity to win his third consecutive trophy in London, but it was Siner who stopped him on the last step.

The Italian tennis player won 3:1 (4:6, 6:4, 6:4, 6:4) in his first Wimbledon final, thus reaching the fourth Grand Slam title of his career, in which he also has two trophies from the Australian Open and one from the US Open.

Siner snapped a five-match losing streak to Alcaraz and avenged the Spaniard's painful defeat in the Roland Garros final a month ago. The Italian also became the first player to defeat Alcaraz in a Grand Slam final.

Alcarras ended his 24-game winning streak this season today. He lost his last match in the final of the tournament in Barcelona, when he was defeated by Holger Rune on April 20th.

It wasn't as exciting today as it was in the Roland Garros final on June 4. In the clash between the first and second ranked players on the ATP list, Siner was the first to break and lead 2:XNUMX.

And then the serve stopped. Alkaras took advantage of that period, broke back, took another one, tied four games and led 1:0 in sets.

The second set started with a break by Siner. The Italian took a 1:0 lead, and in the next game saved a break point, the only break point that Alcaraz had in the second set.

That one break was enough for Siner to tie the sets, and then the Italian served brilliantly in the third. At the start of the third set he missed a break chance, and then in the ninth game he made no mistake - he took away his rival's serve, took a 5:4 lead, and in the next game confirmed the second set and the turnaround.

One break was enough for Siner in the fourth set. And he got it in the third game, when he led 2:1. Alcaraz had a chance to get back into that set, in the eighth game he had two break points, but he did not use them. Siner then led 5:3 and it was clear that Italy was winning the Wimbledon championship for the first time.
