Rome, 14 July (LaPresse) – Jannik Sinner's victory at Wimbledon, the first Italian to achieve this feat, is making headlines around the world and in the international media. The British Guardian celebrates the resilience of the Italian tennis player, who was coming off two defeats in the final against Carlos Alcaraz, in Rome and at Roland Garros. ‘Jannik Sinner roars back and beats Carlos Alcaraz,’ reads the newspaper headline. ‘For most tennis players in history, a defeat as painful as the one suffered by Jannik Sinner against Carlos Alcaraz in the Roland Garros final would have taken years to recover from. In Sinner's case, the pain he endured simply made him stronger,’ the article reads. The BBC writes on its website, ‘Sinner beats Alcaraz to win his first Wimbledon title.’ ‘Italy's Sinner secured a 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 victory at the All England Club, avenging his brutal defeat at the French Open at the hands of world number two Alcaraz just 35 days ago,’ the BBC recalls. France's Le Figaro also focuses on the revenge effect. ‘The revenge of King Sinner, the new lord of the lawn’ is the headline chosen. According to Le Figaro, the match did not ‘reach the level and intensity’ of the Roland Garros final, partly because Sinner was ‘more solid’ and managed ‘to control the Spaniard's ardour in just over three hours’. Spain's Mundo Deportivo acknowledges the South Tyrolean's dominance. ‘Sinner annihilates Alcaraz at Wimbledon: the champion is dethroned,’ is the headline. ‘Carlos Alcaraz did not abdicate at Wimbledon. A sublime Jannik Sinner stormed his fortress and claimed the crown in a spectacular battle,’ reads the article. CNN also celebrates the Italian: ‘Jannik Sinner shows determination to win his first Wimbledon title,’ says the American broadcaster on its website, adding that the rematch of the Roland Garros final ‘did not disappoint: from start to finish, we saw some formidable tennis.’
