The win was the fourth Grand Slam title of the 23-year-old Italian, who ended Alcaraz 24-match unbeaten run and prevented him from becoming the first player in 15 years to win three successive Wimbledons.

It was a battle between the two best positioned players in the game and it served to bring out the upcoming rivalry which will dominate the men tennis. Sinner, who lost to Alcaraz in the final of the French Open only 35 days earlier, showed amazing concentration and a high level of play.

He got sloppy the first set and then pressured his serve and blasted his base-line shots and made Alcaraz make some uncharacteristic errors. His on-site reporting and psychological stamina reversed the trend, and a big service break at 3-4 in the fourth set Stove his day.
