In the immediate aftermath of the victory, congratulatory messages poured in from across the tennis world , including Maria Sharapova, Billie Jean King, Roger Federer’s former coaches, Coco Gauff and many others. Sinner defeated Alcaraz in a grueling three-hour, four-minute match on Centre Court to win his first Wimbledon title. In doing so, Sinner avenged the Roland Garros final just a month earlier, where Alcaraz had beaten him in a thrilling five-set match.
Congratulations have been pouring in for Sinner, and Sharapova was one of the first to chime in. She brought back one of their old hilarious Christmas videos and shared it on X (formerly Twitter), writing: "I know one day you'll regret this. Congratulations champion. Patience, calm and class."

That is what champions are made of," Laver said.
Gilbert shared: "Congratulations Sinner. Great effort to win first place at Wimbledon. Go for it."
