Jannik Sinner, the World No. 1, enters Wimbledon 2025 with both determination and a bit of pressure after a heartbreaking loss at the French Open. Sinner, who seemed poised to claim his first Roland Garros title, was up two sets and held three match points against Carlos Alcaraz in the final, only to see his hopes dashed by a stunning comeback. The loss left the 23-year-old Italian reeling, but he remains upbeat as he heads into Wimbledon, his eyes set on his first grass-court Grand Slam title.

Sinner’s best finish at Wimbledon came in 2022 when he reached the semi-finals. This year, despite a disappointing early exit in Halle, he is determined to improve on that result. Sinner made waves before Wimbledon by parting ways with his fitness trainer Marco Panichi and physiotherapist Ulises Badio. The decision, made after his loss in Halle, surprised many, including Novak Djokovic. Despite the shake-up, Sinner remained calm, stating that he felt “free” and ready to compete.

He begins his Wimbledon campaign with an opening match against fellow Italian Luca Nardi, followed by potential matchups against Denis Shapovalov and Grigor Dimitrov or Tommy Paul. If he progresses, he could face Lorenzo Musetti in the quarter-finals and possibly Novak Djokovic in the semi-finals. Sinner’s path to the final also includes the looming presence of his Spanish rival Carlos Alcaraz, who has handed him multiple losses since 2024.

Although Sinner’s transition to grass courts has not always been easy, he remains confident. “I’m playing great tennis on grass, and I’m just looking forward to going on court and competing,” he said. His calm mindset and readiness to move forward will be key as he faces the toughest challenge of his career yet at Wimbledon. Sinner may have to confront his Spanish kryptonite once again, but with his eye on the prize, he’s prepared to give it his all.
