Reactions from Fellow Players
Fans in Italy rejoiced over Sinner’s victory, including fellow ATP player Lorenzo Sonego, who currently ranks 40th in the world. Although Sonego competes against Sinner on the professional circuit, their camaraderie extends to their friendship and history of playing doubles together. Watching the final was a moment of pride for Sonego, who later shared his thoughts with the Italian outlet Tuttosport.
Sonego remarked on Sinner’s determination to recover from his recent loss at the Roland Garros final, noting that Sinner’s performance in Wimbledon not only showcased his skills but also underscored his mental strength. “It was a great moment for all of us Italians, and obviously for me. We’ve trained together and played doubles over the years. Jannik was desperate to bounce back, and he certainly did,” Sonego expressed with enthusiasm.
Strategic Prowess and Mental Strength
Sonego analyzed Sinner’s strategic prowess during the match, praising his effective second serve which he believed was a significant factor in unsettling Alcaraz. Sonego admired how Sinner managed to rally after dropping the initial set, showcasing exceptional courage during the pivotal moments of the game.
“He was very good at coming back after losing the first set and used his break in the second set to build momentum. He really took away Alcaraz’s confidence and earned this title decisively,” Sonego noted.
A Victory for Italian Tennis
Despite not being the champion himself, Sonego felt immense joy as Sinner lifted the Wimbledon trophy. He conveyed that this victory was not just for Sinner, but for the entire Italian tennis community.
“Seeing Jannik succeed is incredibly uplifting for all of us. His triumph at Wimbledon serves as a motivation for the future of Italian tennis and demonstrates the heights our sport can achieve—in terms of coolness and courage, attributes that great players like him possess.”
