Two-Time Wimbledon Winner Makes Feelings Clear About Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz

When it comes to praise in tennis, it doesn’t get much bigger than a nod from the legendary Rod Laver. And for Jannik Sinner, that’s exactly what came his way after he battled through four tough sets to claim his first Wimbledon title, edging out Carlos Alcaraz in an exciting showdown. 

Sinner’s gritty, composed performance didn’t just win over the crowd. It caught the eye of Laver himself, who made sure everyone knew exactly how impressed he was. Safe to say, when a two-time Wimbledon champ has something to say about you, people tend to listen. 

Laver took to X following the match to share his thoughts. He said, “Congratulations to Jannik Sinner on winning his first Wimbledon title in another thrilling contest with Carlos Alcaraz. Their growing rivalry is a gift to our sport, and it’s matched by the genuine respect they show for each other. Win or lose, they compete with joy, class, and sportsmanship. That’s what makes champions.”
