Just five weeks after suffering a heartbreaking loss to Alcaraz in the Roland Garros final \u2014 where he squandered three championship points \u2014 Sinner responded with clinical composure on Centre Court. The 23-year-old World No. 1 flipped the narrative, ending Alcaraz\u2019s perfect 5-0 record in major finals and halting a five-match losing streak against the Spaniard.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Sinner\u2019s victory came after three hours and four minutes of gripping tennis, where he imposed his aggressive baseline game and served with authority. After dropping the first set, the Italian broke Alcaraz early in each of the next three sets, tightening his grip as the match wore on. His relentless hitting, especially into Alcaraz\u2019s forehand, paid dividends as the Spaniard\u2019s level dipped as per ATP.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
With the win, Sinner secures his fourth Grand Slam title, now only missing Roland Garros to complete the career Grand Slam. He also leaves London with a commanding 3,430-point lead in the PIF ATP Rankings.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The road to the final wasn\u2019t without challenges. Sinner equalled the Open Era record for fewest games lost through three rounds, but needed an MRI after a fourth-round scare, when opponent Grigor Dimitrov retired with a pectoral injury while leading two sets to love. From there, Sinner stormed past Ben Shelton and Novak Djokovic to reach his fifth major final.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
