SINNER VS ALCARAZ RIVALRY SEES TOP SEED AVENGE FRENCH OPEN FINAL LOSS
The Sinner vs Alcaraz rivalry went several notches with this one, as the top-seeded Italian avenged his French Open final loss mightily.
In addition, the 23-year-old Sinner overcame an opening set loss with an awesome display of shotmaking in the next three sets.
What’s more, the three-time Grand Slam champion not only snapped his five-game losing streak against the 22-year-old Spaniard.
He also won his first major outside the hard court surface.
Sinner has won two Australian Open and one US Open title
“I had a very tough loss in Paris. But at the end of the day, it doesn’t really matter how you win or you lose the important tournaments,” the Italian said.
“And this, for sure, is why I’m holding this trophy here,” he added.
SPANIARD ‘REALLY HAPPY ABOUT HAVING THIS RIVALRY’ WITH SINNER AFTER LOSS
The world No.2 is just “really happy about having this rivalry” with Sinner.
This despite losing at the All England Club final for the first time in three years.
What’s more, the reigning French Open champion was dethroned at Wimbledon by the same player who first won a major at the 2024 Australian Open.
Alcaraz was seeking a third-straight title at the All England Club.
This, after he beat Novak Djokovic twice in the 2023 and 2024 finals.
“It’s difficult to lose. It’s always difficult to lose,” the Spaniard said.
“I’m just really, really happy about having this rivalry with him (Sinner),” he added.
SWIATEK DISMANTLES ANISIMOVA TO COP WOMEN’S TITLE
Iga Swiatek, like Sinner, also won her first Wimbledon title after she dismantled Amanda Anisimova, 6-0, 6-0, in the women’s singles final on Saturday.
The 24-year-old Polish world No.4 just dropped one set and six service games throughout the tournament.
Even though she lost to world No.1 Aryna Sabalenka in the French Open semifinals last month, Swiatek got payback.
She may have benefitted from a longer rest and preparation towards WImbledon.
“Honestly, I didn’t even dream (of this) because for me, it was just way too far,” the Polish star said.
“I feel like I’m already an established player, after winning Slams before, but I never really expected this one,” she added.
