Jannik Sinner beat Carlos Alcaraz in four sets at Wimbledon and 1106 days later did it all over again.
Come the end of the world number one’s career, the first of those victories might not even merit a passing mention. It was a relatively low-key affair, Sinner getting the better of Alcaraz in the last-16 in 2022 to reach a first quarter-final on the SW19 courts.
