Jannik Sinner wins ‘This’ Astonishing Prize Money After Capturing First Wimbledon Title

Originally posted on FirstSportz | By Fahad Hamid | Last updated Jul 13, 2025 7:03 PM ET

Jannik Sinner claimed his first Wimbledon title on Sunday by defeating Carlos Alcaraz in the final. Alcaraz, who had won the previous two Wimbledon championships, was a strong favorite. However, Sinner’s win marked a turning point and added fuel to their growing rivalry. The two have met often in recent majors, including the Australian Open, which Sinner also won earlier this year.

Alcaraz took the opening set, but Sinner found his rhythm in the second. From the third set onward, Sinner improved his serve and cut down on errors. His consistent first serves gave him the edge he needed. Despite not starting at his best, the Italian adjusted and took control as the match progressed.

Wimbledon is one of the sport’s most prestigious stages, and Sinner proved why he came in as the world number one. Beyond the title, the financial reward was also significant. Sinner earned three million euros for his triumph—money that reflects the hard work of both him and his team. The prize money was well-earned after nine straight match wins at the tournament.

This was Sinner’s first Wimbledon final and fourth Grand Slam title overall, adding to his two Australian Open wins and one at the US Open. He had faced controversy in 2024 after testing positive for clostebol, a banned substance, but has returned with strong performances. Alcaraz, though falling short in the final, still walked away with £1.52 million. He now holds five Grand Slam titles and, like Sinner, remains a key figure in the future of men’s tennis.

Jannik Sinner conquers first Wimbledon title

Just five weeks after his painful loss at Roland Garros, Jannik Sinner turned the tables in spectacular fashion at Wimbledon. He defeated Carlos Alcaraz in the final to claim his fourth Grand Slam title and his first on grass.

Playing in his first Wimbledon final, the world number one beat Alcaraz 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 in a tightly contested match. With this victory, Sinner became the first Italian to win the Wimbledon men’s singles title. His win marked a major career milestone on one of tennis’s biggest stages.

In their French Open clash, Sinner had come within three points of winning the title before Alcaraz staged a dramatic comeback. That match stretched nearly five and a half hours. At Wimbledon, though, Sinner held his nerve and delivered a more composed performance under pressure.

The 23-year-old took control with aggressive baseline play, especially targeting Alcaraz’s forehand. As the match wore on, his serve improved and he broke the Spaniard’s rhythm. The win also ended Sinner’s five-match losing streak against Alcaraz, giving new life to their growing rivalry.

Jannik Sinner ends multiple Carlos Alcaraz streaks

Italy celebrated a historic moment as Jannik Sinner became the nation’s first Wimbledon men’s singles champion. He defeated two-time defending champion Carlos Alcaraz in the 2025 final at the All England Club. The win came after Sinner had narrowly lost to Alcaraz in a five-set thriller at the French Open just weeks earlier.

Sinner dropped the first set but bounced back to win 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 in a match that lasted just over three hours. With this result, he brought Italy its first Wimbledon singles title and improved upon Matteo Berrettini’s runner-up finish in 2021. At 23, Sinner now owns four major titles, adding Wimbledon to his two Australian Opens and a US Open win.

Alcaraz entered the match as the favorite. He had won his last five meetings with Sinner and was riding a 24-match winning streak. The Spaniard had recently captured titles at the Italian Open, French Open, and Queen’s Club. However, Sinner remained calm under pressure and ended both Alcaraz’s streak and title hopes.

This Wimbledon crown is Sinner’s first major victory on grass. His earlier Grand Slam titles came on hard courts in Melbourne and New York. Alcaraz had been unbeaten at Wimbledon since 2022, but Sinner once again proved to be his obstacle—just as he had been in their previous Wimbledon encounter three years earlier.
