Jannik Sinner won his second Wimbledon title on Sunday, defeating Germany’s Alexander Zverev in the final.
The Italian is now level with his great rival, Carlos Alcaraz, who has also won two titles at the All England Club.
How many Wimbledon titles will Jannik Sinner retire with?
He's a two-time champion! Roger Federer holds the men's singles record with eight…
But who will end their career with more Wimbledon titles to their name?
During the BBC’s post-match coverage, Grand Slam doubles legend, Todd Woodbridge, answered that very question.
Todd Woodbridge now thinks Jannik Sinner will win more Wimbledon titles than Carlos Alcaraz
“It’s interesting times for the champions of the last four years here, two times [Carlos] Alcaraz and two times [Jannik] Sinner,” he said.
The last four Wimbledon men’s singles champions
- 2023 – Carlos Alcaraz
- 2024 – Carlos Alcaraz (2)
- 2025 – Jannik Sinner
- 2026 – Jannik Sinner (2)
“When Alcaraz won his second, you thought it was endless.
“His style and the way he plays, you thought it was more grass-court orientated, with him coming forward.
“But I have a feeling if Jannik stays fit, that he may win more Wimbledon [titles] than Carlos, and I did not expect I would say that!”
Woodbridge continued, explaining his thought process.
“The way the court plays now, as big as he serves, as hard as he serves,” he said.
“He takes so much time away from his opponents.
“And it might well be a five vs six situation for Jannik Sinner in the future.”
Woodbridge believes Sinner could win six Wimbledon titles, to Alcaraz’s five.
That would place them near the top of the all-time list.
Multiple Wimbledon men’s singles champions (Open Era)
- 1. Roger Federer – 8
- T-2. Pete Sampras – 7
- T-2. Novak Djokovic – 7
- 4. Jannik Sinner – 6 (Todd Woodbridge’s prediction)
- T-5. Carlos Alcaraz – 5 (Todd Woodbridge’s prediction)
- T-5. Bjorn Borg – 5
The Aussie noted Sinner’s serve as a main reason for his prediction, and understandably so.
Sinner’s serve was impenetrable for most of the tournament, as one of the biggest weapons in his game continued to shine.

Even in the final, when he was under the most pressure, Sinner hit 15 aces and won 80% of his first serve points.
While Alcaraz is a quality server himself, his numbers simply don’t compare.
Carlos Alcaraz’s serving stats at Wimbledon (2024)
| Match | Aces | Double faults | 1st Serve % | Win % on 1st Serve | Win % on 2nd Serve |
| 1R vs Mark Lajal (Three sets) | 4 | 4 | 63% | 84% | 62% |
| 2R vs Aleksandar Vukic (Three sets) | 11 | 2 | 66% | 82% | 61% |
| 3R vs Frances Tiafoe (Five sets) | 16 | 5 | 64% | 71% | 67% |
| 4R vs Ugo Humbert (Four sets) | 14 | 6 | 70% | 66% | 50% |
| QF vs Tommy Paul (Four sets) | 7 | 2 | 61% | 66% | 66% |
| SF vs Daniil Medvedev (Four sets) | 6 | 2 | 57% | 73% | 64% |
| F vs Novak Djokovic (Three sets) | 5 | 6 | 59% | 84% | 61% |
When the Spaniard won his last Wimbledon title in 2024, he trailed 2026 Sinner in almost all key metrics.
Jannik Sinner’s serving stats (2026 Wimbledon) vs Carlos Alcaraz (2024 Wimbledon)
| Player | Aces | Double faults | 1st Serve % | Win % on 1st Serve | Win % on 2nd Serve |
| Jannik Sinner (2026 Wimbledon) | 18 | 3 | 66% | 85% | 61% |
| Carlos Alcaraz (2024 Wimbledon) | 9 | 4 | 63% | 75% | 62% |
The comparison isn’t entirely fair, as Alcaraz has improved since then and the court surfaces weren’t identical, but you can see where Woodbridge is coming from.
Sinner’s serve is dominant, and can, at times, win him matches he might otherwise have lost.
Take the first round, for example, where Sinner found himself down two sets to one against Serbia’s Miomir Kecmanovic.
If not for his career-high tally of 31 aces, the Italian might have exited the tournament in the first round.
Alcaraz doesn’t have that in his locker yet, and until he does, Sinner may continue to have a slight edge on the grass courts of Wimbledon.
Who was the last player to beat Jannik Sinner at Wimbledon?
Sinner looks almost unbeatable on grass right now, but who was the last player to beat him?
His last grass-court defeat came at the hands of Alexander Bublik at Halle last year, although you have to go back another year to see him lose at Wimbledon.
Sinner lost to Russia’s Daniil Medvedev in the 2024 Wimbledon quarter-finals.
After five thrilling sets of tennis, Medvedev prevailed on Centre Court.
In the 733 days and 14 matches that have followed, Sinner hasn’t lost at Wimbledon.
Only time will tell if anyone can stop the world number one when he returns to the All England Club in 2027.
