Live score: Men's Wimbledon final

Alcaraz takes first set

Carlos Alcaraz rallied from an early deficit to win the final four games and take the opening set against Jannik Sinner.

After both players held serve their first two times, Sinner recorded the match's first service break in the fifth game, winning the final four points with some aggressive returns.

But Alcaraz battled back to even the set at four games apiece thanks to a pair of unforced errors by Sinner on his serve.

Alcaraz broke Sinner once more to take the set, as Sinner double-faulted at deuce and Alcaraz hit an amazing return that just barely cleared the net for the clinching point.

What surface is Wimbledon played on?

Wimbledon is the only one of the four Grand Slam tennis tournaments played on grass. The Australian and U.S. Open are played on hard court and the French Open is played on red clay.

Wimbledon generally produces faster tennis and more volleys than the other majors, and balls do not bounce nearly as high. The surface can also be slippery at times, especially compared to hardcourts.

"You have to be more focused on the footwork here," Carlos Alcaraz told The Athletic after winning his second Wimbledon men's singles championship in 2024. "Moving on grass is the key to everything on grass. I can’t slide as I do on clay or on a hard court." — John Leuzzi

Where is Wimbledon held?

• Location: All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club (London)

The 138th edition of the Wimbledon Championships is being held at the All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club on Church Road in London. It is the 103rd time that the Grand Slam event has been held on Church Road, a streak that dates back to 1922.

The Grand Slam event hasn't always been held at the All England Club on Church Road, however. From 1877 through 1921, the Wimbledon Championships were held at the former All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club location on Worple Road in London. — John Leuzzi
