LONDON - Carlos Alcaraz said he could hold his head high despite being unseated from his Wimbledon throne by Jannik Sinner on Sunday and the Spaniard praised their hot rivalry for being several notches higher than the others on the men's tour.

World No. 1 Jannik Sinner of Italy built an early advantage and shook off some late jitters to finish a 3-1 victory over No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz at Wimbledon Sunday, giving Sinner his first win at Wimbledon and fourth Grand Slam win ever.

The two young stars have produced some instant classics, meeting in both the 2025 French Open and Wimbledon finals.

The Italian responded to his French Open heartbreak by denying Carlos Alcaraz a third straight title at the All England Club.

Sinner beat the two-time defending champion, 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4, reversing the result of their epic French Open final five weeks ago

Jannik Sinner lost the first set to Carlos Alcaraz before ultimately winning 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 to claim his first Wimbledon title.

Jannik Sinner cracked the Carlos Alcaraz code at last, ending a five-match losing streak against his great rival and so becoming the first Italian of either sex to lift a Wimbledon singles title.

Arguably the top rivalry in tennis will decide this year's champion at Wimbledon
