Carlos Alcaraz insisted his intense rivalry with Jannik Sinner will drive him to new heights after his reign as Wimbledon champion was shattered by the relentless Italian on Sunday.

Jannik Sinner insisted early on at Wimbledon that he put an excruciating loss to Carlos Alcaraz in their epic French Open final behind him. Sinner was sure that one defeat wouldn’t haunt him, wouldn’t prevent a quick recalibration and certainly wouldn’t mean a thing at the All England Club.

LONDON: Jannik Sinner defeated Carlos Alcaraz 4-6 6-4 6-4 6-4 in a high-octane final to claim his maiden Wimbledon trophy and fourth Grand Slam crown on Sunday (Jul 13), avenging his loss to the Spaniard in last month's epic French Open final.
