Welcome to the NBO in Focus. Every week, we will keep you updated on all the action on the ATP Tour as we build towards the National Bank Open in Toronto, which takes place from Jul. 26 to Aug. 7.
Days until National Bank Open: 11
Sinner gets revenge on Alcaraz
Jannik Sinner got a measure of revenge for his heartbreak at Roland-Garros by defeating Carlos Alcaraz 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 to capture his first Wimbledon title on Sunday.
It is the fourth-career Grand Slam for the reigning world No. 1, who became the first Italian to win the singles title at the All-England Club.
"It’s mostly emotional, because I had a very tough loss in Paris," Sinner said during the trophy ceremony. "But at the end of the day, it doesn’t really matter how you win or how you lose at important tournaments, you just have to understand what you did wrong and try to work on that. This is for sure one of the reasons I am holding this trophy here.
"Carlos, again, an amazing tournament, but mostly thank you for the player you are. It’s so difficult to play against you, but we have an amazing relationship off the court and on the court, we just try to build up, and to do that we need the best teams in the world.”
The win snapped Sinner’s five-match losing streak against Alcaraz.
The Italian moved one major away from completing the career Grand Slam, needing just Roland-Garros to accomplish the feat. Sinner equalled an Open Era record by dropping just 17 games in his first three matches. He then survived a scare against Grigor Dimitrov in the fourth round, advancing after the veteran was forced to retire due to a pec injury while up two sets to love. The 23-year-old would beat Ben Shelton and Novak Djokovic in straight sets to advance to the final.
The loss snapped Alcaraz’s career-best 24-match win streak and denied him a chance to win his third-straight Wimbledon title.
Sinner and Alcaraz were the first Roland-Garros finalists to meet again in the Wimbledon final in the same season since Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal did it three consecutive years from 2006-08. The top two players in the world have now split the past seven Grand Slams, with Sinner holding four (Wimbledon - 2025, US Open - 2024, Australian Open - 2024, 2025) and Alcaraz with three (Roland-Garros - 2024, 2025, Wimbledon - 2024).
