Jannik Sinner tops Carlos Alcaraz in rematch to win Wimbledon

Top-ranked Jannik Sinner moved past a crushing defeat to Carlos Alcaraz at last month's French Open to win their highly anticipated rematch 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 on Sunday and claim his first Wimbledon title and fourth major championship.

Just five weeks after the world Nos. 1 and 2 played the second-longest men's major final on the red clay of Roland-Garros -- with Alcaraz overcoming a two-set deficit and saving three match points along the way -- it was Sinner who had to rally after dropping the opening set on grass.

Sinner, a 22-year-old from Italy who won the US Open last September and defended his Australian Open title in January, was playing in his fourth consecutive Grand Slam final but first at the All England Club.
