Wimbledon 2025 Men's Singles Final Highlights: Sinner beats defending champion Alcaraz to win maiden Wimbledon

The new Wimbledon champion Jannik Sinner had this to say at the presentation ceremony: “I would like to start with Carlos (Alcaraz). It was an amazing tournament, but mostly thank you for being the player you are. It is so difficult to play against you.

“We have an amazing relationship off the court, and on the court as well. We need the best teams in the world, and we both have that.

“You are going to hold this (Wimbledon major trophy) many times. I mean, you already have two (laughs).

“It is so special, because seeing my parents here, my brother, my whole team – it is amazing.

“Special thanks to my brother as there is no Formula One race this weekend, so that’s why he is here (laughs).

“I had a very tough loss in Paris (laughs). But at the end of the day, it isn’t how you win or lose, but just to understand what you did wrong and work on that. We tried to accept the loss and just kept working. This is one of the reasons why I hold this trophy here.

“Winning this trophy means a lot. The last game I served very well. I had some tough moments, and in a best-of-five (sets match), every moment is crucial. Just happy I held my nerve in the end.

“It is amazing to be in this position. We would never have thought to be here when I was young. It was only a dream of a dream, as it was so far away. I am just living my dream.”
