2025 Wimbledon Final: Carlos Alcaraz v Jannik Sinner

[Hitman]

This is the record might stand forever. It's very difficult to win first 8 slam finals. Not many players win 8 slams, let winning first 8 slam starting from very young age.

Its looking pretty invincible right now.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

A bit disappointing, but Sinner was too good today. Alcaraz seemed a bit less creative than usual. Let’s see what happens at USO.

2 slams to 1 this year. Alcaraz got bounced last year in the second round. He needs a good us open run.

 

[antony]

Honestly I started falling asleep during the third set

 

[Hitman]

And alcaraz wasnt too sad by losing to jannik, unlike to Novak.
They have very good bonding.

That's because he knows he shouldn't be losing to Djokovic at this stage.

 

[Sudacafan]

Now Sinner too has the twice the slams as 90’s born players do

That’s why this was such a spoiled chance for Grigor.

Should have been 3-0 for Sinner this year.

Do Royals always have inane conversations like these? How boring.

Boring is an important element of the Royal job and making small talk (i.e., inane conversation in your dialect) is part of it.

PRO TIP: When I talk with Raul I always try to compliment him to begin.

“Complimenting other people is another effective way to start making small talk. Opening a conversation with a compliment can help you immediately start building rapport. It can make the other person feel more positive and connected to you, which can help you start a conversation.”

Now switching to the CWC Finals.

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Should have been 3-0 for Sinner this year.

Doesn’t matter it’s 2-1. I know you’re a sinner fan but the guy needs a nemesis. Federer had nadal and novak. It remains to be seen if Alcaraz can be that.

Federer didn’t have none of that until nadal showed up.

 

[MichaelNadal]

If so, the blame is on Baerlos.

Exactly

 

[MichaelNadal]

Wake up bestie

I’m not a Sinner fan. Not even close to be.

I just prefer him a bit more than Alcaraz.

 

[Fedforever]

Its looking pretty invincible right now.

Just as well he met Rafa in the semis in 2005.

 

[sliceroni]

Carlos has great parents. They smile even when he loses as opposed to Zverev's Dad who scowls at the camera in defiance.

I noticed that too. Even when Sinner was serving for the match Carlos almost had an incredible get when he slid and lost his racket, Carlos afterwards looked at his box and smiled and his dad smiled back at him.

Well sure but you still want someone challenging him in slams. A lot of people preferred Fed’s game over nadal but nadal was a thorn on Fed’s side. I hope Alcaraz can be that but he has to show it outside of clay.

 

[Hood_Man]

Now switching to the CWC Finals.

Women's Euros for me, Wales Vs England.

Of course I tuned in the moment England scored a penalty against us...

 

[Succession]

I think it’s a reality check for Alcaraz now. Either he wants this battle with Sinner going forward and relentlessly thrives to improve or he is content with what he already brings

 

[Move]

Carlos is serving too hard, costs him precision
Too many missed first serves

53% 1st serves in. Big mistake this

 

[Sudacafan]

“Complimenting other people is another effective way to start making small talk. Opening a conversation with a compliment can help you immediately start building rapport. It can make the other person feel more positive and connected to you, which can help you start a conversation.”

More than complimenting, I have noticed that insulting people is a more effective way to open casual conversations with other users here.

The us open should tell us a lot.

 

[abmk]

What? Did you see those two set points?

couple of fantastic set point doesn't mean match itself was that good.
it was decent (good if being very generous), but nothing more.

 

[Succession]

Big nose.

Totally, Melbourne latest. I have a feeling he isn’t as obsessed with it as Sinner tho, but I might be wrong

its not a classic, sure, but it was a good four set match. Not every match needs to be Sampras V Agassi USO 2001 level. This match some good tennis in it, it was well above average IMO.

sampras v agassi USO 01? that's like light years away.

it was decent to at best good.

A 4-setter like fed vs djoko in Wim12 was considerably above this.
Even Roddick-Murray in Wim 09 also.

As @DNalby12 said, "Not very high quality stuff."

 

[Daniel Andrade]

Federer's 7-0 record start to a slam final career is safe.

I don't kind of get this record, can you explain more specifically what you mean?

 

[Bhagi Katbamna]

I noticed that too. Even when Sinner was serving for the match Carlos almost had an incredible get when he slid and lost his racket, Carlos afterwards looked at his box and smiled and his dad smiled back at him.

That's a healthy attitude. Same as Roger Federer's dad when he lost the final to Nadal in 2008.

 

[dking68]

Winning his first 7 slams undefeated

 

[Daniel Andrade]

Not a very good match imo. But Sinner played well the last two sets.

Agreed, night and day between this and RG.

 

[Enceladus]

This time Sinner managed to escape from Alcatraz!!! After losing the first set from 4:2 score, I began to doubt that Sinner would win, but he didn't lose self-confidence, he improved his first serve, thus securing the gain of his serve games and this gave him more confidence in Carlito's serve games. I think the turning point for the whole match was Jannik' break at 5:4 in the 3rd set, there he gained the momentum on his side and didn't let it go, although Carlitos did everything he could. He outhit Carlos in winners 40-38, although Carlos hit more aces, meaning Jannik was indeed more offensive and better from the baseline.

For Jannik, today's win is a great satisfaction after the cruel loss at RG. I believed that his game would bring him a victorious Wimbledon and today we are here. Congratulations to his fans, enjoy it!

federer won his first 7 slam finals - Wim 03, AO 04, Wim 04, USO 04, Wim 05, USO 05, AO 06

 

[Enceladus]

Both singles competition at Wimbledon 2025 were won by tennis players who experienced GS losses from match points this year - Iga Swiatek on AO and Jannik Sinner on RG. For both, the Wimbledon triumph is the best satisfaction. Both are great champions.

 

[Daniel Andrade]

Wow, didn't know that, incredible.

Feeling bad for Fedr. That comment hurt.

I can understand that. It would have been nice to see a tie-break or two today. The sets were at least competitive, but a higher amount of UFE's than expected. Still, there were some fantastic shots and points even if not in an abundance.

Final Stats:

Sinner - 40 winners/40 UFE; 62% first serve percentage; 8 aces/ 2 DF's; 30/40 net points

Alcaraz - 38 winners/36 UFE; 51% first serve percentage; 15 aces/ 7 DF's; 17/23 net points

Sinner had a good strategy, and was even more assertive in sets #3 and #4.

Cahill also gets the nod over Ferrero today.

To which I pointed to a few high points, not the whole match. I know the match as a whole wasn't. But there were plenty of high quality moments. The match overall was a decent to good match IMO.

 

[speedysteve]

Not this Carrot, not today.

As an Italian man wins Wimbledon for the first time in the Championships' 148-year existence, it is truly high time to bring back an old classic from a long-forgotten, long-banned old friend of mine...

THEME SONG!

Gonna run to the left,
gonna run to the right,
gonna hug the baseline,
gonna move up the court,
for all your dropshots,
and then run back for all your lobs,
I am the Sinnerman

 

[Sudacafan]

Nobody said this, I believe.
This was a total fail by Ferrero.

 

[I Am Finnish]

Congrats @Lleytonstation

He served 62% in and he won the match. That's why he failed at RG, he failed to achieve these numbers. Very proud of him and hope he's able to defend his USO title.

 

[Rovesciarete]

I noticed that too. Even when Sinner was serving for the match Carlos almost had an incredible get when he slid and lost his racket, Carlos afterwards looked at his box and smiled and his dad smiled back at him.

He is and his family have been gracious in victory and defeat. Classy indeed.

 

[Lleytonstation]

Congrats @Lleytonstation

Right once again.

 

[Hitman]

Well, the three CP he had were on return of serve. If that return game was better, he would have won.

But here, the serving did keep improving. I am glad he won, I confidently picked him to beat Alcaraz in the final, the grass suits his game more.

 

[dking68]

He is and his family have been gracious in victory and defeat. Classy indeed.

Sinner played very brave and courageous. And he served over 60% in. Well done to Sinner.

 

[tudwell]

Carlos needs a little bit of what? Ability to bounce back? Bounced back from 3 straight five-setters to win his first slam. Bounced back from crampgate to win Wimbledon. Bounced back from numerous terrible performances in every major he contested to win his first five slam finals. Bounced back from getting booted out of Queens last year when he was defending his title to come back and win his second Wimbledon. Has a 14-1 record in five set matches. Sounds like he has pretty good bouncebackability.

You can't criticize a guy because he's clutch as hell and wins so much he doesn't have much occasion to bounce back.

Well, fair enough. Carlos is plenty good at bouncing back. I probably didn’t word that quite right. Because I do think there’s a certain relentlessness to Sinner’s approach to the game, to training, etc. that Alcaraz probably doesn’t quite match. I’m not saying he’s not an incredibly hard worker, because obviously he is, but Sinner is just so cool and machine-like, ruthlessly targeting the weaknesses in his game and working to improve them, even in the midst of obstacles what would derail many other players.

 

[Rovesciarete]

Sinner played very brave and courageous. And he served over 60% in. Well done to Sinner.

Yes and he and his family is also class. Happy that his father seemingly found another chef to substitute him for this weekend. Lots of tourists in his parts...

 

[dking68]

Right once again.

Im super proud man. I was worried the FO loss would derail his career, but man he was brave.
