As the season moves closer to its closure, Jannik Sinner continues to look back on his historic first Wimbledon crown as the defining moment of his career.
The 24-year-old lifted the prestigious trophy this July after defeating Carlos Alcaraz 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4, dethroning the Spaniard and securing one of the sport's most coveted achievements.
Jannik described the victory as life-changing. He admitted that Wimbledon holds a special place above all other tournaments. Thus, he sees the All England Club crown as the ultimate symbol of tennis excellence – one that every player dreams of from childhood.

Beyond the personal milestone, the triumph carried deep national pride. Sinner became Italy's first men's singles champion at Wimbledon, achieving that over Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz.
Thus, he added a historic chapter to his country's sporting story and writing another page of Italy's golden tennis age. For world no. 1, the moment of triumph went beyond lifting trophy.
It was about giving something back to the nation that has supported him since his earliest steps in tennis. Now, a few months later, Jannik reflects on that fortnight in London with a mix of gratitude and perspective.
Winning Wimbledon gave him validation and a new sense of calm and confidence – the feeling that he belongs among the greats of the game. Wimbledon changed Sinner, and for Italian tennis, it changed everything!

He defeated three lower-ranked players in style in the opening three rounds. However, the Italian could have hit the exit door in the fourth round against Grigor Dimitrov.
The Bulgarian claimed the opening two sets on Centre Court before experiencing a shoulder injury, retiring in tears at 2-2 in the third set. Sinner took charge and scored three notable wins despite elbow issues.
He bested Ben Shelton, Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz en route to his fourth Major title, the first at the All England Club.
"Lifting this trophy changed me. Wimbledon will always be THE title in tennis, in my opinion, and winning it once makes me happy. I'm thrilled to bring the trophy to Italy. My country gave me a lot, and I'm happy to give my contribution," Jannik Sinner said.
