Rod Laver, who won the Wimbledon singles title four times (1961-62, 1968-69), not only congratulated the stars, but explained why he believes their Lexus ATP Head2Head rivalry is so important for tennis.
“Congratulations to Jannik Sinner on winning his first Wimbledon title in another thrilling contest with Carlos Alcaraz,” Laver wrote. “Their growing rivalry is a gift to our sport, and it’s matched by the genuine respect they show for each other. Win or lose, they compete with joy, class, and sportsmanship. That’s what makes champions.”
