Jannik Sinner won Wimbledon battle but war with Carlos Alcaraz is far from over
Just like that, Carlos Alcaraz is no longer the king of Wimbledon. The Spanish tennis superstar was aiming for a three-peat at this year's Championships but fell at the final hurdle to his biggest rival in the sport. But while Jannik Sinner may've won the battle – the war between the best two players on the planet is only just beginning. 'I take away many things to improve on,' Alcaraz said after his defeat. 'You have to accept that you can't always win, that your opponent can outplay you. The good thing about tennis is you have more tournaments ahead.' 'He (Alcaraz) is going to come for us again,' Sinner added after his triumph on Centre Court. 'We have a big target on us, so we have to be prepared.' The race to complete the career Grand Slam is now on, with both men now needing to win just one specific trophy each to secure the bragging rights. The French Open is the last major tournament Italian world No.1 Sinner hasn't won. For world No.2 Alcaraz, it's the Australian Open. The Spaniard will have the first opportunity at the start of 2026 – but there's still one last Grand Slam up for grabs this year at the US Open in New York… Australian Open 2024 – Jannik Sinner – Jannik Sinner French Open 2024 – Carlos Alcaraz – Carlos Alcaraz Wimbledon 2024 – Carlos Alcaraz – Carlos Alcaraz US Open 2024 – Jannik Sinner – Jannik Sinner Australian Open 2025 – Jannik Sinner – Jannik Sinner French Open 2025 – Carlos Alcaraz – Carlos Alcaraz Wimbledon 2025 – Jannik Sinner One of the most exciting aspects of this new sporting war is that both men are still so early into their careers. Alcaraz is only 22. Sinner is just 23. 'I don't think I'm at my best [yet] because [at the age of] 23, I don't think you can be in your best shape ever,' Sinner explained. 'Hopefully I can keep improving. But it's important to have these kind of players (Alcaraz) because you have to always think.' The duo have now played each other 13 times on the ATP Tour. Alcaraz still leads the head-to-head 8-5 – but his run of five successive wins over Sinner is over. If both players keep up their incredible level of tennis – and avoid any significant injuries – they could continue to dominate the sport for the next decade and a half. Everyone knows it too. 'Alcaraz and Sinner are going to be carrying the torch for the next 10 to 15 years,' Nick Kyrgios, who covered the final for TNT Sports, told iNews. 'I am really happy about having this rivalry with him,' Alcaraz continued. 'I think it's great for us, and it is great for tennis. 'Every time we playing against each other, I think our level is really high. I think we don't watch a level like this, if I'm honest with you. 'I don't see any player playing against each other, you know, having the level that we are playing when we face each other. 'I think this rivalry, it's becoming better and better. We're building a really great rivalry because we're playing the finals of a Grand Slam, finals of Masters, the best tournaments in the world. It's going to be better and better. 'I'm just really grateful for that because it gives me the opportunity to give 100 per cent every practice, every day. 'Just to be better, thanks to that. The level that I have to maintain and I have to raise if I want to beat Jannik is really high.' Should Sinner defend his title at the US Open, he'll match Alcaraz's tally of five major trophies. If Alcaraz wins, he'll have six to Sinner's four. More Trending Ahead of what could be a third successive Grand Slam final between the pair at Flushing Meadows, Sinner has fired a little warning to his rival. 'My favourite surface is hard court.' It only seems like yesterday that we were talking about Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer – but tennis never stops – and all eyes are now on this enthralling rivalry between Alcaraz and Sinner. They're the new John McEnroe and Bjorn Borg. Fire and ice. Two players who approach the sport differently, but when the play one another, it's a truly must-watch spectacle. Long may it continue, because tennis needs it.

Nick Kyrgios troubled over Jannik Sinner reaching Wimbledon final after drug ban
Nick Kyrgios believes Jannik Sinner reaching the Wimbledon final is 'not a good look' for tennis after his three-month doping ban earlier this year. Sinner has enjoyed a superb run at Wimbledon this year, defeating Novak Djokovic in the semi-finals to set up a showdown with Carlos Alcaraz. It's the first time the Italian world No.1 has reached the final at the Championships as he looks to get his hands on a fourth major trophy. There is still some controversy surrounding Sinner – who failed two drug tests in 2024 – with Kyrgios one of his biggest long-term vocal critics. Sinner was suspended at all tennis competitions from February 9, 2025 to May 4, 2025 following a World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) settlement. The 23-year-old twice tested positive for clostebol, a steroid that can be used to build muscle mass. WADA accepted Sinner's explanation that he was accidentally contaminated by a massage from his physiotherapist, who used a spray containing the banned substance to treat a finger cut. They ruled that Sinner 'did not intend to cheat' but insisted that he was responsible for his team's negligence, which ultimately saw him punished. After Sinner made his return at the Italian Open in May, he went on to reach the French Open final – where he lost to Alcaraz – and he's now reached a second Grand Slam final in a row after his impressive run in SW19. But Kyrgios has been left concerned over how Sinner playing in the Wimbledon final will impact tennis' image, especially after Iga Swiatek, who accepted a one-month ban after testing positive for a banned substance in November 2024, won this year's women's singles title. 'Do I think it's a good look for the sport that Swiatek and Sinner are in the final at Wimbledon after serving a ban? I don't think it's a good look for the sport,' Kyrgios told iNews. More Trending 'And I think people could agree. But I'm not going to sit there and talk about that [on commentary] in the final. They've been playing some incredible tennis. 'Sinner, he served a ban, which do I agree with? No. But he came back and he's been playing some excellent tennis. 'He didn't look like he missed a beat, and he looked like he improved during that period of time, which is still incredible, regardless of why he was banned.'

Wimbledon umpire left off match list after angry player argued game was 'stolen'
Wimbledon umpire Nico Helwerth has been left off the match list for Monday after an angry player declared she had a game 'stolen' from her. The controversial incident occurred during Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova's 7-6 6-4 victory over Britain's Sonay Kartal in the last 16 on Sunday afternoon. Helwerth ordered the two players to replay a crucial point at 4-4 in the first set after the electronic line calling system was accidentally turned off. Kartal's initial shot was visibly out and Pavlyuchenkova would've won the game if the technology – only introduced this year – was working correctly. But Pavlyuchenkova lost the replayed point and was broken to trail 5-4, with the Russian left furious and claiming 'they stole a game from me'. Wimbledon umpire Helwerth will now not officiate at Wimbledon on Monday – despite taking charge of nine matches in the last seven days. Despite being left off the rota, All England Club chief executive Sally Bolton has defended Helwerth, who has officiated three Grand Slam finals to date. Bolton said: 'The chair umpire was in communication with the review official and was not being informed that the system had been partially deactivated. 'So the chair umpire was not operating with perhaps a full set of information while he's trying to make those decisions.' Wimbledon officials have confirmed that rules would've allowed Helwerth to call the ball out himself before the controversial replayed point. Speaking after the match, Pavlyuchenkova said: 'The chair umpire was so confused. 'I think they just need to… chair umpire needs to maybe have a clear plan if that happens, 'Okay, what I'm going to do in this situation'. More Trending 'I think they [are] a little bit lost. They start calling everybody. They don't know what to do. 'Instead [they should be able to say], 'If the system is down, then I'm going to take initiative and call this'. 'We probably should have this system like in football to review.' According to iNews, Wimbledon sources have claimed that Helwerth's omission from Monday's order of play is 'normal practice' – and that he'll be back to officiating duties later in the tournament.

Andy Murray's mum Judy opens up on money worries and going through ‘toughest time' financially
Andy Murray's mum Judy opens up on money worries and going through 'toughest time' financially Judy Murray has opened up on her financial worries before Andy became one of the best tennis players in the world, with her son's net worth now sitting at around £110million Judy Murray has lifted the lid on the financial difficulties she faced while raising sons Andy and Jamie (Image: Julian Finney, Getty Images ) Judy Murray had her share of financial challenges while raising the man who would go on to become a three-time Grand Slam champion. At 65, Judy shepherded Andy and his brother Jamie through their formative years in tennis, enduring financial strains along the way. Although retired since last year, Sir Andy Murray is taking a break from the sport that made him a household name. But success in tennis was far from being guaranteed. With Andy's net worth now around £110million, it appears Judy's thrifty habits have left a mark on him as well. But it all began with Judy's mother and the morals she instilled in her daughter. "When I was young, [my mother] would go into an absolute tailspin if she had a bill with a final demand on it, or if she'd forgotten to pay something," Judy told iNews. "She was always panicking about money, and that rubbed off on me. "And so I've never had a credit card. I hate owing people money, and I have to be really persuaded to invest in anything. I don't have any investments, stocks and shares, or anything like that." Before Andy's birth, former tennis prospect Judy swapped life in Glasgow for Dunblane. This included transitioning from her role as a confectionary company sales rep to focus on nurturing young talents, including sons Andy and Jamie, in coaching. Article continues below Judy served as Andy's coach as a youngster before he was taken on by pros (Image: Getty ) Choosing to forego financial security for her sons' potential was a bold move. It wasn't until Andy, who later became a two-time Wimbledon champion, hit his teenage years that the extent of their financial challenges emerged, reports the Daily Express. "The toughest time financially was when we needed to send Andy to Barcelona for his training," she added. "It was 2002, and he was about 15. He was one of the best in Europe at that point. He needed to leave the country because he needed a tougher training environment with a different variety of sparring partners. "It was like going to an expensive boarding school that specialised in tennis. The problem was that we were going to need £30,000-35,000 a year. That was more than my entire salary." Launching her new book 'Game, Set & Murder', Murray Sr, who loves when people notice how smiley she is, reflected on those challenging times and one "incredibly financially stressful" period. Through a £10,000 sponsorship and an inheritance from Judy's great-uncle, Andy could embark on his pivotal training in Spain. Murray has repeatedly credited his mother for her role in his success (Image: Getty ) Andy's tennis career might have taken a different trajectory were it not for that time spent abroad. But Judy was no stranger to making ends meet with limited resources. "My pension was a big learning curve in my relationship with money," she revealed. "For most of my life, I didn't have money. Even as a top-level national coach in 1995, I earned £25,000. "It was a very small salary job. I have been self-employed for most of my life and didn't start making pension contributions until much later. I didn't think about it." Article continues below Fortunately, her son's triumphs on the tennis court have ensured she doesn't have to fret over finances any longer. But the family have maintained the same philosophies that took them to the top in the first place.
