Paris pain inspired Sinner's Wimbledon triumph against Alcaraz
The world number one blew a two-set lead and wasted three championship points in an epic collapse in Paris, but he held his nerve in the rematch at the All England Club.
"I would say mostly emotionally because I had a very tough loss in Paris. But it doesn't matter how you win or lose, you just have to understand what you did wrong and try to work on it," the 23-year-old said.
"This is what we did. This is one of the reasons I'm here holding this trophy."
Sinner is the first Italian man to win Wimbledon, ending Alcaraz's two-year reign as champion.
"It's so special. We were talking before the match. We would never have thought of being in this position back in the days when I was young," said the four-time Grand Slam winner.
"It was just a dream. This was so far away from where I am from."
Alcaraz had no complaints about the end of his 24-match winning streak, a blistering run that brought him titles at the French Open, Rome, Monte Carlo and Queen's Club.
"It's difficult to lose but first of all I have to congratulate Jannik. It is a really well deserved trophy. He was playing great tennis," the world number two said.
"Really happy to be able to build a really good relationship with him off the court and a great rivalry on the court."
Alcaraz, a five-time Grand Slam champion, was beaten in a major final for the first time, but he had no regrets after falling short of a third successive Wimbledon crown.
"Really proud of everything I'm doing. At the beginning of the season I struggled a bit and then suddenly I started to bring joy to the court again," he said.
"Wimbledon is one of the most beautiful tournaments that we have on tour. I feel at home every time that I come here.
"It is such a beautiful court. The atmosphere is insane. It's a great journey so far. I just want to keep it going."

England take 2-1 series lead over India with thrilling Lord's win
India were on the brink of defeat at 147-9, still needing a further 46 runs to reach a victory target of 193, when last man Mohammed Siraj joined Ravindra Jadeja in the middle. Nevertheless, the pair batted on until after tea on the final day to give India hope of an improbable victory. But with India eyeing a stunning success, off-spinner Shoaib Bashir, who had been off the field for much of the match with a finger injury, had the final say. As Siraj played defensively, the ball spun back past him to dislodge the leg bail with the faintest of touches to leave India 170 all out. As the England fielders celebrated, the fiery Siraj was crestfallen as was his partner Jadeja who was left stranded on 61 not out -- his fourth consecutive fifty this series -- after batting for nearly four-and-a-half hours. England captain Ben Stokes bowled two lengthy spells Monday on his way to innings figures of 3-48 in 24 overs, with fast bowler Jofra Archer -- in his first Test after more than four years of injury-induced exile -- taking 3-55 in 16. 'Dark places' Lively medium-pacer Stokes, whose career has been blighted by knee injuries, again proved his worth to England as a fully-fledged all-rounder. "I thought I had taken myself to some pretty dark places before but today was... If bowling to win a Test for your country doesn't get you up, get you excited, then I don't know what does," Stokes told Sky Sports. "The game was on the line and nothing was going to stop me bowling." Victory came exactly six years to the day since Stokes and Archer both starred in England's dramatic 2019 50-over World Cup final win over New Zealand at Lord's. Both bowlers made early breakthroughs Monday, with player-of-the match Stokes saying the anniversary was behind his decision to open the bowlig with Archer. "Jof played a big role in that and I just had one of those feelings he would do something special," said Stokes. The 30-year-old Archer added: "It was pretty hectic for the first game back. I probably bowled a few more overs than I thought I would have but every single one mattered today so I'm not too fussed about it." India were all but beaten at 112-8 when tailender Jasprit Bumrah came out to bat immediately after lunch. But Jadeja and Bumrah kept England at bay with a stubborn stand of 35 in 22 overs. "I think the position in the morning, to make a comeback like this was tremendous from Ravindra Jadeja and the lower order," said India captain Shubman Gill. Bumrah, defying a run of four successive noughts in Test cricket, defended gamely while making five in 54 balls only for his innings to end when he top-edged a pull off Stokes to substitute fielder Sam Cook at mid-on. India were now 147-9 -- a position that meant tea was delayed by 30 minutes. But Jadeja, who overturned an lbw decision given against him on 26, went to fifty when a flashing cut off Stokes flew over the slips for the left-hander's fourth four in 150 balls faced. Shortly after tea, Archer struck Siraj a painful blow on the shoulder and it was not long before he fell to Bashir. This match became a second-innings shoot-out after both teams made 387 in their first innings. England then posted 192 before India slumped to 58-4 when Stokes bowled nightwatchman Akash Deep with what became the last ball of Sunday's play. From 71-4 on Monday, the match swung England's way once more as India lost three wickets for 11 runs in collapsing to 82-7. Rishabh Pant -- who only came into bat on Monday following Deep's departure -- charged down the pitch to drive Archer for a typically aggressive four. But two balls later Archer, repeatedly topping the 90 mph mark, bowled the dangerman for nine with a superb full-length delivery that clipped the top of off stump. India were looking to KL Rahul to anchor their chase after the opener's first-innings hundred. But he had added just six runs to his overnight 33 when he was lbw on review to Stokes. Archer, who made his Test debut at Lord's in 2019, then reduced India to 82-7 when he held a sharp one-handed caught and bowled chance to dismiss Washington Sundar for a duck.

England's Bashir out of remainder of India series
The 21-year-old off-spinner spent much of the match off the field with a fracture to his little left finger -- on his non-bowling hand -- after dropping a hard-hit return catch from Ravindra Jadeja during India's first innings. But he returned to dismiss Mohammed Siraj after tea on Monday's final day when India's last man played a defensive shot only for the ball to trickle back onto his leg stump as England won a thrilling encounter by 22 runs. Victory left England 2-1 up in this five-match series but they are now set to call-up a new specialist spinner for the fourth Test at Old Trafford starting on July 23, with the likes of Liam Dawson and Jack Leach vying to take Bashir's place. "England spinner Shoaib Bashir has sustained a fracture to his left finger and has been ruled out of the remainder of the Rothesay Test series against India," said an England and Wales Cricket Board statement. "He is scheduled to undergo surgery later this week.

McIlroy confident of handling emotional British Open on home turf
It will be the second time that Northern Ireland's McIlroy has competed in his own country in the British Open after the tournament was staged at Royal Portrush in 2019. Back then, the world number two tried to block out the noise surrounding the event's return after a 68-year absence to the links where he set the course record of 61 as a 16-year-old. But McIlroy struggled to handle the passionate support he received from local fans as he missed the cut by a stroke. "I think I remember the ovation I got on the first tee on Thursday and not being ready for how I was going to feel," the 36-year-old told reporters on Monday. "I was a little surprised and a little taken aback. I was like, 'These people really want me to win'. I think that brought its own sort of pressure and more internally from myself and not really wanting to let people down. "I learned pretty quickly that one of my challenges, especially in a week like this, is controlling myself and controlling that battle. "I think in '19 I probably tried to isolate and I think it's better for everyone if I embrace it. I think it's better for me because it's nice to be able to accept adulation, even though I struggle with it at times." The five-time major winner has spoken of struggling for motivation following the completion of his career Grand Slam with a dramatic victory at the Masters in April. McIlroy became just the sixth man to win all four majors when he beat Justin Rose in a play-off at Augusta. After a disappointing spell following that memorable triumph, he is hopeful an encouraging joint-second place at the Scottish Open last week will be the springboard for a title charge at Royal Portrush. "I'm certainly encouraged by how I've played the last two starts, especially last week in Scotland," he said. "I think the two weeks off after the Travelers (Championship) just to reset, to get over here, a bit of a change of scenery has been really nice. "I'm excited with where my game is. I felt like I showed some really good signs last week. "I feel like I'm in a good spot and -- not that last week was a pure preparation week -- but I definitely feel like it put me in a good spot heading into here." © 2025 AFP
