Carlos Alcaraz vs Jannik Sinner: Thrilling showdown awaits in Wimbledon 2025 final

The rivalry that has emerged in no time and has given the tennis faithful a reason to get hooked on the sport once again will be on show on Sunday, July 13. Carlos Alcaraz, the reigning champion of Wimbledon, will vie to complete a hat-trick at the All England Club. However, standing in front of him will be his familiar foe, Jannik Sinner.

Given what they produced the last time they faced each other, fans are hyped about the Alcaraz vs Sinner Wimbledon 2025 final.

Ahead of the start of the match, let’s take a look at some of the prominent factors that may come into play on Sunday. Moreover, also take a gaze at how to watch the match live.

Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner pushed each other in Paris

Asked to reflect on what happened in Paris, Alcaraz began by saying, “Probably the best,” then cut himself off.

“I mean, ‘probably,’ no. It was the best match that I have ever played so far. I’m not surprised he just pushed me to the limit. I expect that on Sunday — just to be in the limit, to be on the line. Just going to be a great day, a great final. I’m just excited about it,” Alcaraz said, speaking for anybody who might have paid any attention to that classic at Roland-Garros.

“I just hope not to be 5 1/2 hours on court again,” he added with a smile. “If I have to, I will. But I think it’s going to be great.”

who wouldn’t expect this one to be?

“Hopefully it’s going to be a good match, like the last one,” Sinner said. “I don’t know if it’ll get better, because I don’t think it’s possible.”

No. 1 Sinner and No. 2 Alcaraz rule men’s tennis right now

Sinner, a 23-year-old Italian, and Alcaraz, a 22-year-old Spaniard, are far and away the leaders of men’s tennis — and are at the height of their powers right now. This will be the seventh straight major tournament won by one or the other.

Alcaraz is 5-0 in Grand Slam finals. Sinner owns three major trophies.

“The things we are doing right now are great for tennis,” Alcaraz said.

He takes a career-best 24-match winning streak into Sunday. Sinner will be in his fourth Grand Slam final in a row, after winning the U.S. Open last September and the Australian Open in January.

Alcaraz has won five matches in a row against Sinner

Alcaraz leads their head-to-head matchup 8-4, taking the last five.

He doesn’t think what happened in their most recent meeting will have a carryover effect on Sinner this time.

“He’s going to be better physically. He’s going to be better mentally. He’s going to be prepared on Sunday to give his 100%,” said Alcaraz.

Sinner and Alcaraz have taken over the sport as the so-called Big Three of Djokovic, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal ceded center stage.

Federer and Nadal are retired. For the 38-year-old Djokovic, who was diminished two days after a “nasty” and “awkward” fall in the last game of his quarterfinal victory, his lopsided loss brought an end to his latest bid for an eighth Wimbledon title and an unprecedented 25th major trophy.
