Wimbledon: Five-time Grand Slam champion Carlos Alcaraz may have had the upper hand over Jannik Sinner, but the World No.1 Italian will be aiming to flip the script when they meet in Sunday’s grand finale.
In Short
- Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner will lock horns in the Wimbledon final
- Alcaraz has a 5-0 lead over Sinner in their last 5 meetings
- Alcaraz is looking to win his 3rd Wimbledon title in a row
As Novak Djokovic slowly recedes as the final torchbearer of the Big 3, a fiery new rivalry is taking center stage – Jannik Sinner vs. Carlos Alcaraz. And while both are elite, it’s Sinner who’s often seen as the underdog – not because he lacks the skill, but because Alcaraz has taken his game to staggering new heights over the past three years.
Since pulling off his stunning 2022 US Open triumph and becoming the youngest-ever world No.1, the Spaniard has only grown more dominant, with many predicting he’ll smash a slew of records. Sinner, by contrast, has quietly built his empire – and now holds the No.1 ranking himself, having done so for over a year.
This Sunday, expect Centre Court to ignite as the two face off in the Wimbledon men’s singles final. Just last month, they lit up Roland Garros with a historic five-hour, 53-minute battle – the longest French Open final ever, and the second-longest Grand Slam final of all time, behind only the 2012 Australian Open classic.
