Jannik Sinner has finally got his hands on the Wimbledon trophy, after defeating Carlos Alcaraz 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 on Centre Court. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Sinner beat Alcaraz<\/a> to deny the Spaniard a third consecutive title at the All England Club and become the first Italian to emerge victorious in singles at the championships. <\/p>\n

He is now one of five players aged 23 or younger in the Open Era to simultaneously hold three men\u2019s singles titles at Grand Slams, following Jimmy Connors, Pete Sampras, Roger Federer<\/a>, and Rafael Nadal<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It was an astonishing performance from Sinner<\/a>, who former Wimbledon<\/a> finalist Andy Roddick<\/a> admits he was wrong about. <\/p>\n

On the \u2018Served\u2019 podcast, Roddick said: \u201cI will tell you when I think I am right. I will tell you when I am wrong. I did not see it going that clearly in Sinner\u2019s direction on this surface. I just really didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe played such a tactically sound match. Pulled the trigger at the right time up the line but dominated the middle of the court.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat he can do is consistently create pace and speed through the court without needing the variety and spins that Carlos Alcaraz has mastered.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf he extends the court sideline to sideline that also allows Carlos to mix it up a little bit but he did an amazing job of hitting behind Carlos Alcaraz when the backhand line was available.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter what happened at Roland Garros, and then to have Carlos 15-40 on his serve when he is two holds away from the Wimbledon title.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\u201cHitting two massive serves that catch the back fifth of the box to the forehand side up the radar gun to 110mph plus. Just clutch as clutch could be.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou could see Darren Cahill standing up and down. Everyone knew it. They have not faded away from the fact of what happened at Roland Garros and they are just like we are going to go on with it.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am a huge fan of both of these guys. I am happy for all their successes. Could not have been more impressed with Jannik Sinner.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is carrying the physical load of trying to beat Alcaraz on this surface, his third final in three years and winning two of them.<\/p>\n

\u201cThen you can talk about how you have moved on from Roland Garros, that scar tissue does not go away just because you want it to.<\/p>\n

\u201cOvercoming that scar tissue, especially in that fourth set, was just an amazing, amazing display of grit and belief and will ultimately be the redemption story.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"Jannik Sinner\u2019s incredible Wimbledon campaign <\/p>\n

Sinner was dominant at Wimbledon this year, and didn\u2019t drop a set at the tournament until the fourth round, sweeping aside Luca Nardi, Aleksandar Vukic, and Pedro Martinez.<\/p>\n

In round four, he came up against Grigor Dimitrov<\/a>, who was up two sets against him before having to retire mid-match due to injury. <\/p>\n

After the Bulgarian\u2019s heartbreak, Sinner went on to defeat both Ben Shelton<\/a> and Novak Djokovic<\/a> in straight sets to reach the Wimbledon final for the first time. <\/p>\n

He then defeated Alcaraz to clinch a maiden title in South West London and put an end to the Italian drought in singles at the event. <\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jannik Sinner has finally got his hands on the Wimbledon trophy, after defeating Carlos Alcaraz 4-6, 6-4, 6-4,…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":64165,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[48],"tags":[1710,1466,1824,62,1464,67,132,68,2071],"class_list":{"0":"post-64164","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tennis","8":"tag-andy-roddick","9":"tag-carlos-alcaraz","10":"tag-jannik-sinner","11":"tag-sports","12":"tag-tennis","13":"tag-united-states","14":"tag-unitedstates","15":"tag-us","16":"tag-wimbledon"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114850140294873092","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64164","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=64164"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64164\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/64165"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=64164"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=64164"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=64164"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
