Sinner's summer of redemption

JANNIK Sinner, long seen as the quiet force in men’s tennis, made the loudest statement of his career on Sunday — winning his first Wimbledon title with a 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 victory over Carlos Alcaraz.

In defeating his Spanish rival on the sport's most storied stage, Sinner claimed his fourth Grand Slam at just 23, continuing a remarkable ascent that has already reshaped the post-Big Three era of men’s tennis.

Between them, Sinner and Alcaraz have now won seven of the past eight Majors, firmly establishing themselves as the sport’s new standard bearers.

While Alcaraz dazzles with flamboyant flair and high-risk shot-making, Sinner’s game is built on clinical precision and baseline power — drawing comparisons to Novak Djokovic in both temperament and technique. His calm demeanour on court is matched by a quiet humility off it, but his results speak volumes.

This Wimbledon title capped an emotional and redemptive stretch for the Italian.
