Tennis champion Jannik Sinner defeated Spanish defending champion Carlos Alcaraz to win Wimbledon, becoming the first Italian to ever do so. Two Italians had come close before, with Matteo Berrettini reaching the men’s final in 2021 and Jasmine Paolini reaching the women’s final in 2024, tennis.com reported. Last year, Sinner tested positive for a trace amount of an anabolic steroid in March. He was initially cleared, based on the defense that he was accidentally exposed to the banned substance during a physiotherapist massage. The World Anti-Doping Agency appealed the exoneration, and Sinner agreed to serve a three-month ban that ended in May.
