Sinner wins Wimbledon to dethrone rival Alcarez

WIMBLEDON Revenge proved a dish best served on grass for Jannik Sinner as he put his Paris heartbreak behind him to claim a first Wimbledon title.

Only five weeks have passed since Carlos Alcaraz stunningly saved three match points in a French Open final fightback for the ages, but his hopes of a third straight victory in SW19 were dashed by his great rival.

This time it was world number one Sinner, who becomes the first Italian to win a Wimbledon singles title, that came from behind, claiming a 4-6 6-4 6-4 6-4 victory in three hours and four minutes - nearly two-and-a-half hours quicker than their Roland Garros epic.
