Jannik Sinner is now the proud winner of Wimbledon 2025. The Italian clinched the trophy after a tournament where he once again displayed an outstanding level of tennis. The only downside during these two weeks was the victory he obtained after Grigor Dimitrov retired due to injury when the Bulgarian was leading by two sets to zero. Apart from that, he easily defeated Luca Nardi, Aleksandar Vukic, Pedro Martínez, Ben Shelton, and even Novak Djokovic. In the final, he dropped a set against the reigning champion, Carlos Alcaraz, in what was another tennis showcase from both players.

Once again, the year for Jannik Sinner is proving to be spectacular in every sense. After winning the Australian Open, he had to take a break from the circuit due to a positive test for Clostebol, resulting in a suspension until the ATP Rome. Not only did he make a successful comeback, but he also reached the finals at home and at Roland Garros. In both matches, he was overcome by Carlos Alcaraz's heroics, and although he came close to the title in Paris, he couldn't avoid a mentally challenging defeat. At Wimbledon 2025, fully recharged, he showcased personal growth and solidified his status as the undisputed champion. The Italian spoke at a press conference to reflect on this significant triumph in his career.

- Wimbledon Champion

"It feels amazing. This is the tournament I had always dreamed of. This year has been very different from the last because previously I arrived as the champion in Halle and lost in the quarterfinals here. These past weeks, I have felt good on the court, moving better each day, so I am really happy with what I have achieved, honestly."

"It has been very thrilling, even though I haven't cried. Only my team and I know what we have faced off the court, and it has been everything but easy. We have tried to improve in every training session, and sometimes I have had mental challenges, especially during practice. In matches, I feel I can perform well because I disconnect completely from the outside, and this has helped me a lot. Additionally, having my family there has been invaluable, and I am grateful for that."

- Rivalry with Alcaraz

"It's not easy to play against someone you have lost to numerous times recently... but at the same time, I also feel that in the past, I came very close to beating him on each occasion. I've never given up and always see Alcaraz as a superior player because I believe he has done things better. I have tried to prepare well because I knew there were more challenges coming, not just Carlos but all the other players too."

"I am happy to see that the work we do is paying off, and truthfully, I feel that at 23 years old, I have not yet reached my peak level. I hope to continue improving, but it's essential to have these kinds of players in front of you to realize that you have to give your best every day to stay at the top of your game."

- Outstanding Tennis Level

"Reaching the final rounds of Grand Slams is very challenging, and I have always tried to believe in myself and accept whatever comes my way. The only solution to everything is to constantly improve as a tennis player, and if you do this, you are more likely to succeed. I have applied this principle, and I will keep it in mind even more because there will be very talented players coming up in the future, and we have to be prepared."

- Difference in Level Between Them

"The differences between us are very small. Today, I think I was fortunate at various points, and everything that favored him in Paris, I believe, was in my favor today. Initially, neither of us was serving well. Later on, I found a better rhythm in the second and third sets. After that, in the fourth set, I had ups and downs in my serve. It's normal when you play for so many hours; you can't perform well all the time."

- Bouncing Back after Roland Garros Setback

"This is the part I am most proud of because it wasn't easy. I tried to accept things as they were and be honest with myself. These things can happen, and I think it's better to face them than to lose by only winning two games in the entire match. From that point on, I started training intensely again and didn't want to let myself down because we had this Grand Slam just around the corner."

- Grand Slam Winner on Surfaces Other Than Hard Court

"My favorite surface is hard court, although I knew I could give my best on the others too. Initially in my career, I felt my body wasn't suited for clay, but this year, finally, I was in good shape. I played for 5 hours and 30 minutes against Alcaraz, and that was a significant step forward in my career. Winning here is the most special thing, but I don't compare it to other surfaces. Wimbledon is unique, but I've always thought that my baseline game suits grass courts well."
