Wimbledon champion Jannik Sinner admitted he is hoping Darren Cahill changes his mind about retiring at the end of the season after winning a bet against his Aussie coach. Sinner produced one of his best-ever matches to defeat Carlos Alcaraz in the Wimbledon final to become the first Italian male to ever lift the trophy.

No longer bewitched by his adversary, Sinner claimed his first win over Carlos Alcaraz in six attempts and 20 months. The world No 1 had finally triumphed against his biggest foe. Despite dropping the first set here, the Italian kept his composure, stopped Alcaraz’s three-peat quest and 24-win streak in its tracks and prevailed 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4.
