Sonego stated, “Jannik delivered an exceptional performance across the board, exhibiting the necessary bravery to take chances when it mattered.”

“Some of his decisions caught Alcaraz off guard, causing him to gradually lose confidence and become unsure of his strategy. Sinner’s excitement was palpable at the match’s conclusion, mirroring the feelings of all Italians, who were witnessing one of their own achieve victory at Wimbledon for the first time.”

“His victory undoubtedly stands out as the most memorable moment of this year’s tournament. However, the sight of Dimitrov’s tears following his pectoral muscle injury was disheartening for everyone. His withdrawal came as a shock to us all.”
