Jannik Sinner made history on July 13 by becoming the first Italian to win the Wimbledon men’s singles title, defeating Carlos Alcaraz in a gripping four-set final. The moment sparked a wave of emotional tributes from tennis legends and coaches alike.
Sinner’s 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 win avenged his French Open loss to Alcaraz and cemented his place among the elite. Maria Sharapova reposted their old Christmas video on X, saying, “It is only appropriate to bring this back to the top of the feed.”
Billie Jean King, Rod Laver, Brad Gilbert, and Ivan Ljubicic also congratulated Sinner, praising his sportsmanship and resilience. Ljubicic notably highlighted the humble presence of Sinner’s parents, emphasizing the quiet strength behind the champion’s rise.
Fellow stars like Barbora Krejcikova, Holger Rune, and Jack Grealish shared their excitement via Instagram, while Sinner praised Alcaraz post-match, urging him to “keep going.” With two Grand Slams in 2025, Sinner now sets his sights on defending his US Open crown.
