2025 Wimbledon men's singles final: Jannik Sinner defeats Carlos Alcaraz for 1st Wimbledon title

Jannik Sinner has won his first Wimbledon championship, prevailing over Carlos Alcaraz in four sets 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 on Sunday afternoon. The match lasted three hours and four minutes. Sinner becomes the first Italian to win a Wimbledon title while breaking a five-match losing streak against Alcaraz, dating back to early 2024. That included a grueling five-set duel earlier this year at the French Open. Alcaraz was thwarted in his attempt to win a third consecutive championship at the All-England Tennis Club. Advertisement The world No. 1 player and top seed won what turned out to be the crucial third set, finally breaking Alcaraz for a 5-4 lead after neither player would yield serve. Sensing a win in hand, Sinner fired his serve past the No. 2 Alcaraz, earning an ace to take the advantage. In the fourth set, Sinner took an early 3-1 advantage by breaking Alcaraz's serve, winning two consecutive backhands that sliced down the line and out of reach. Alcaraz had no answer for it, especially when he had difficulty winning his serve. While Alcaraz held to fight back in the set, Sinner took control with his serve, often firing the ball right at Alcaraz and preventing him from utilizing his athleticism along the baseline. What returns he could manage were largely defensive, working just to get a racket on the ball. Advertisement Sinner also showed some uncharacteristic creativity to answer Alcaraz's aggressiveness. At one point, he hit a shot behind his back and between his legs during that third set. He followed that up by jumping high for a forehand return that crossed the court just out of Alcaraz's reach. The opening set fulfilled the expectations for a great match. Alcaraz took control early, overwhelming Sinner with his serve and taking the first two points. Sinner eventually righted himself and was able to break, perhaps taking advantage of some overzealousness from Alcaraz. Sinner then held and took a 4-2 lead in the set. Carlos Alcaraz pursued his third consecutive Wimbledon title, but lost to Jannik Sinner in the 2025 men's final. The defeat also ended a five-match winning streak against Sinner.

Advertisement Sinner took the second set, keeping calm while Alcaraz took some chances on mixing up his shots. But Sinner was able to get to nearly every Alcaraz volley, running quickly along the baseline and showing excellent range in reaching for slices and drops. With the Wimbledon title, Sinner has now won three of the past four Grand Slam tournaments. His record during that span is 27-1. He and Alcaraz have also won the past seven Grand Slams, dating back to the 2024 Australian Open. Tennis balls and Champagne corks flying around Centre Court Not only did Sinner have to battle Alcaraz, but he also had to dodge Champagne corks popping from the stands. During the second set, an errant cork landed on the court behind Sinner as he was preparing to serve.

Advertisement The umpire admonished the crowd several times throughout the tournament for opening Champagne bottles and causing a loud pop as players were serving. But this was the first time one of those corks actually landed on the playing surface. A ball girl sprinted to fetch the cork from Sinner after he picked it up. (During his post-match interview, Sinner thanked the ball girls and ball boys for their hard work.) Following the match, Sinner seemed almost as excited about earning a lifetime membership to the All-England Tennis Club as winning Wimbledon. (To be fair, he was asked about that.) "It sounds amazing, I hope my career is a little bit longer and after I can come back here," he said on-court. "It is amazing to be in this position." "We were talking before the match that we would never thought we would be in this position when I was young," he continued. "This was only a dream, the dream of the dream because it was so far away from where I'm from. I'm just living my dream." He also thanked his brother, who attended the match "because there's no Formula 1 race this weekend." (Via the BBC.) Advertisement On the other side, Alcaraz thanked the king of Spain for attending the tournament and said he intends to be back to pursue a third Wimbledon title. "For sure, I am going to be back," he said. "Wimbledon is one of the most beautiful tournaments that we have on tour." "I feel at home every time that I come here," he continued. "It is such a beautiful court and I love playing in front of you all. The atmosphere is insane. I have to say thank you and I will be back for sure."

French women's basketball player, 17, throws down dunk in game vs Belgium

Alicia Tournebize may not be a household name in women's basketball just yet, but it's viral moments like on Sunday that will get her name into fans' heads quickly. Tournebize helped France to a third-place finish in the FIBA U18 Women's EuroBasket 2025 over Belgium. The French won the game, 72-47. But the highlight moment came in the fourth quarter when she stole the ball away from her Belgian opponent. The 6-foot-4 athlete was in transition all by herself and threw down a sensational dunk. Tournebize, 17, scored 19 points and grabbed 12 rebounds as France picked up its fifth consecutive podium finish. The dunk was hardly Tournebize's first of her career. She became the first French women's basketball player to dunk in a game when she did it for Espoirs de Bourges in an NF2 league matchup. She then dunked for Tango Bourges Basket U18 back in February. The center will turn 18 in eight days from Sunday. French women's basketball has been on fire in the last 15 years. The French won the silver medal in the 2024 Olympics, bronze in the Tokyo Games and silver in London back in 2012. The team was fourth in Women's Eurobasket last June. A few Tango Bourges Basket players are currently on the national roster, including Tima Pouye and Pauline Astier.
