Jannik Sinner has successfully conquered the first Wimbledon championship in his career. In the final that took place on Sunday, the Italian tennis player defeated the defending champion Carlos Alcaraz convincingly. The match score is 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4.
With the title at All England Club, Sinner continues to consolidate its No. 1 world. The Italian player currently has 12.030 points, leaving the second position of Carlos Alcaraz 3,430 points. However, the situation can completely reverse within the next two months, when the North American hard field season starts.
The reason lies in the total score that each player must protect. While Sinner is protecting up to 3,200 points from Canada, Cincinnati and US Open last year, Alcaraz had only 60 points to hold. Any foot can change the top of the ATP rankings on September 9, after the US Open 2025 ends.
Last year, Alcaraz experienced a very disappointing hard field. He missed the Masters 1000 in Canada, was eliminated right after the first match in Cincinnati when losing to Gael Monfils, then suddenly received defeat in the second round of US Open against Botic Van de Zandschulp. In total, the Spaniard only earned 60 points.
Meanwhile, Sinner reached the quarterfinals of Canada and won the championship in Cincinnati. After that, he excelled at the US Open after defeating Taylor Fritz in the final. This series of achievements gives the Italian player 3,200 points, which is also the foundation for him to the first throne in the world at the beginning of this season.
Currently, Sinner is holding the No. 1 ATP for 58 consecutive weeks, the fourth long history in history. Meanwhile, despite losing the Wimbledon final, Alcaraz still keeps high performance with a winning achievement of 48-6. In the upcoming North American hard field, the No. 2 player in the world is not under pressure to protect points and can play with a much more comfortable psychology.
The defeat at Wimbledon could be an important push for Alcaraz. The Spanish tennis player became the world's No. 1 after the US Open 2022 championship, and he was completely able to recreate that.
