Carlos Alcaraz failed to match Roger Federer's record.(AP) Alcaraz earlier won two titles at Roland Garros, two in London and one in New York. In his sixth Grand Slam final, he lost to Sinner, and failed to maintain his 100 percent success rate. Speaking on his rivalry with Sinner, Alcaraz said in his post-match press conference, 'I just am really, really happy about having this rivalry with him. I think it's great for us and it is great for tennis. Every time we play against each other, I think our level is really high. I think we don't watch a level like this, if I'm honest with you. I don't see any player playing against each other having the level that we are playing when we face each other.' 'I think, as I said many, many times, this rivalry is getting better and better. We're building a really great rivalry because we're playing finals of Grand Slams, finals of Masters – the best tournaments in the world. It's going to be better and better. I am just really grateful for that because it gives me the opportunity to just give my 100 per cent every practice, every day, just to be better, thanks to that. The level that I have to maintain and I have to raise if I want to beat Jannik is really high,' he added. Alcaraz also has one more Grand Slam title than Sinner (four). The Italian won the 2024 and 2025 Australian Open, 2024 US Open and now Wimbledon 2025.

Wimbledon: Jannik Sinner breaks the Carlos Alcaraz barrier with lessons from the past
What doesn't kill you makes you strongerJannik Sinner may be the World No. 1, but heading into the Wimbledon 2025 final, few genuinely believed he could topple Carlos odds were stacked high against the Italian. Alcaraz had won 20 straight matches at Wimbledon, a streak that included two consecutive titles. He arrived at the final on the back of a 24-match unbeaten run since returning from injury at the Italian Open. Most daunting of all, he had beaten Sinner five times in a row, dating back to their 2023 Beijing Fans hadn't forgotten how Alcaraz had dismantled Novak Djokovic - a 24-time Grand Slam winner - in straight sets in last year's final.

He had taken the first two sets against Alcaraz and looked destined to lift the trophy. The finish line was in sight - he could almost taste it. But what he didn't see coming was destiny's ever the fighter, thrives when his back is to the wall. On that Paris evening, he clawed his way back, saving multiple championship points in the fourth set before winning in five - in what became the second-longest Grand Slam final in forward to Sunday at Wimbledon. The script felt eerily familiar. Sinner was two sets to one up, and Alcaraz again stood in a position where he'd have to win the fourth and fifth to retain his crown. Given his scorching form - unbeaten in 24 matches since returning from injury - no one would've been surprised if the Spaniard forced a decider. Many expected it. But this time, Sinner had other Italian had already let one slip - he earned an early break in the opening set but faltered, dropping serve twice to hand it over. From that point on, though, he was unshakeable. Sinner locked didn't allow Alcaraz a single break across the next three sets - even when he faced break points deep in the fourth. When he held firm in that tense game, you could sense the shift. There would be no miracle comeback, no fifth-set drama. Sinner wasn't letting this one time, it was Sinner's turn to let destiny unfold - on his work harderNeedless to say, the French Open loss was a bitter pill to swallow for Sinner. Coming so close to his maiden Grand Slam title on clay, only to see it slip away, could have broken his spirit. But instead of retreating into his shell, Sinner rose - like a phoenix from the took the pain, the lessons, and the heartbreak from Roland Garros and transformed them into fuel. With renewed purpose and steely determination, he arrived at Wimbledon not just to compete, but to conquer."Honestly, mostly emotionally. I had a very tough loss in Paris, and at the end of the day, whether you win or lose - especially at the big tournaments - what really matters is how you respond," Sinner said in the on-court interview after the match."We tried to accept that loss, to learn from it, and to work harder. That's exactly what we did. And it's one of the reasons I'm holding this trophy now. I'm just so grateful to be healthy, to have great people around me - that's the most important thing. Holding this trophy means so much," Sinner Sunday's final, it was Sinner who had stunned Alcaraz at Wimbledon back in 2022 - a statement win that hinted at what was to come. Three years later, he did it again, reinforcing his edge over the Spaniard on the grass of SW19. Interestingly, Sinner now holds a 2-0 record against Alcaraz at the grass-court this triumph, Sinner was seen as a hard-court specialist - his three Grand Slam titles coming at the Australian Open and the US Open. But with this latest victory at Wimbledon, he has added another surface to his growing only one piece is missing: clay.

IND vs ENG Lord's Test: KL Rahul takes F1 route to re-establish Test career
India's KL Rahul celebrates after scoring a century during the third cricket test match between England and India at Lord's cricket ground in London, Saturday, July 12, 2025. (AP Photo/Richard Pelham) London: KL Rahul is in a comfortable space after a long time. It took 10 years of uncertainty for him to be here, scoring multiple centuries in a series. Having turned 33 three months ago, he wouldn't be wrong in believing he was running out of time to truly own a place in India's Test side. For a man who has never been shy to explore varied options to improve his game, Rahul sought help from Formula One professionals to clear his mind. 'In the last year or so, I worked on a few mental drills. I'm closely associated with Red Bull, so I had the opportunity to go there and work with some of the coaches that work with the elite F1 guys and other adventure sports people who require a lot of this mental side of the game,' Rahul said after scoring his second hundred in the series on Saturday evening. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! 'I spent a bit of time with an expert who can help me improve my reaction time. Some mental drills and games that you can play that help you get better with your reaction time, and stuff like that. I picked this up from one of the guys that I worked with in Salzburg,' he added. Rahul's indifferent career may be attributed to the inconsistent batting positions given to him.

He showed assurance at the top of the order, which forced Rohit to bat down the order first before asking Rahul to come down again. KL Rahul press conference: On last over fight, Rishabh Pant run out and fired up Shubman Gill This is the first time in the last six years that Rahul has a clear mandate to bat at the top of the order. 'I'm happy batting at the top of the order and I've always enjoyed batting at the top of the order. In my junior cricket days, I've always batted at the top. So that's something that feels good,' he said. Rahul becoming consistent at the top of the order has laid a solid foundation for Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant to dominate England. In previous years, he has had the issue of starting off a series well and then tapering off. If Rahul can make his form last, India could be in for something special.
