World number one Jannik Sinner has defeated defending champion Carlos Alcaraz to win his first Wimbledon title.

The Italian won the match in four sets to prevent the Spanish world number two from winning his third Wimbledon final in a row.

They played in front of a crowd which included the Prince and Princess of Wales and their children George and Charlotte.

Sinner’s Wimbledon success comes only 35 days after he lost to Alcaraz in what many judge to be the greatest ever French Open final.

Alcaraz showed incredible reserves of energy to win a five-hour 29-minute match at Roland Garros to deny Sinner a third consecutive Grand Slam title.

However, Sinner was able to overcome his Paris heartbreak with victory in the SW19 postcode of London.
