Carlos Alcaraz was all smiles despite his heartbreaking loss to arch-rival Jannik Sinner in the final of the 2025 Wimbledon Championships on Sunday, July 13. He kept his head held high and remained positive, vowing to return next year with even more energy and determination.
Alcaraz entered the final with a strong chance of completing a historic three-peat, having won the tournament the past two years. His run to the final suggested he was well on track to achieve it. However, luck wasn’t on his side against Sinner. Despite taking the first set 6-4, he couldn’t maintain the momentum and went on to lose the next three sets 4-6, 4-6, 4-6.
Later, during his on-court interview, the Spaniard was asked if he would return to SW19 next year. He replied with a confident yes, saying that every time he plays on the grasscourts of the All England Club, it feels like home.

The World No. 2 also thanked the crowd for creating such a great atmosphere throughout the tournament:
"I love playing in front of all of you. The atmosphere, it is insane every time I that I played here. So, I just have to say thank you. I am gonna be back for sure."
Alcaraz had the full support of his family during the final, with his mother, father, and brothers cheering him on from the players’ box. They were joined by his coach, Juan Carlos Ferrero, and the rest of his team.
Carlos Alcaraz shows gratitude to his family & team after Wimbledon final loss
Carlos Alcaraz had plenty to say during his runner-up speech after falling short to Jannik Sinner in the Wimbledon final. He spoke candidly about how proud he was of the progress he’s made, especially considering he admitted to struggling both on and off the court at the beginning of the season.
Alcaraz said:
"I’m really proud about everything I’m doing. At the beginning of the season, I struggled a bit on the court and off the court, but then suddenly I just started to really enjoy being on court again, being happy again."
The Spaniard then went on to thank his family, friends, and team for constantly motivating him every time he steps on the court. Without their support, he admitted, he wouldn’t have made it this far.
"That excitement I have every time step on the court is thanks to my team, my family and lot of friends. I am happy that I have them here. Without them it wouldn’t be possible to stand here right now- It’s a great journey so far which I’m really proud about. I just want to keep it going," Carlos Alcaraz said.
Alcaraz will now aim to move past his Wimbledon disappointment and shift his focus to the upcoming North American hardcourt swing. With the US Open on the horizon in August, he’ll be eyeing a strong run as he looks to capture his second Grand Slam title of the year.
