Yanik Sinner defeated Alkaraj on center court
At the beginning of the third set, there was a tough competition between the two players. When it seemed that the set was moving towards the tie-breaker, Sinner took a 5-4 lead by braking the service of Alkaraj. While serving at a score of 5-4, 40–15, he achieved two set points and changed the first set point into the lead to the third set. Sinner made 12 unforced errors in the set, seven more than Alkaraj. But with 15 winners and seven Ace, he compensated them.
While reaching the fourth set, Alkaraj found himself in the atmosphere by knowing herself: He returned from two sets to the French open final and defeated Sinner, and now he needed to win two consecutive sets to do so again. However, Sinner did not give any opportunity to Alkaraj, taking lessons from the mistakes of the French Open. He took an initial break and took a 2–1 lead and soon took his lead 3–1. On a score of 3-4, 40-15, Alkaraj got two golden opportunities to return, but he could not redeem any of them. Perhaps his last real opportunity to return was missed. Finally, Sinner achieved a brilliant break, which broke Alkaraj’s heart and the Italian player won the title of Wimbledon.
