On the final day of Wimbledon 2025, Jannik Sinner became the first Italian to win the singles tournament, and Catherine, David and Matt were live afterwards to react to his four set defeat of Carlos Alcaraz.

In part one we talk over the manner of this win and how Sinner put paid to any suggestion of scar tissue from Paris with a focused and intelligent performance. We discuss Alcaraz’s unmatchable brilliance at the end of the first set, and how Sinner’s resilience allowed him to stay on task, break at the start of a second, and win clinically in four sets. There’s speculation about what might happen next, with the incredible prospect of Sinner, Alcaraz - and Iga Swiatek - all heading into 2026 with the potential to complete a career slam before the age of 25. Will this rivalry between the two of them continue as a duopoly? Or is there a third player yet to emerge from their wake and challenge at the top?

In part two (43m34s) we round up the other results from the day at Wimbledon, including a tense battle between Alfie Hewett and Tokito Oda for the men’s wheelchair singles crown, and a thrilling women’s doubles won by Mertens and Kudermetova over Hsieh and Ostapenko.

Thus ends Wimbledon 2025! In part three (49m44s) we finish with a look back at our favourite memories from the past fortnight, and thanks to all those who have contributed to the making of our shows from the Championships.
