Carlos Alcaraz vs. Jannik Sinner: Wimbledon 2025 Final Promises Fireworks

Wimbledon 2025 is set for a blockbuster finale as Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner prepare to battle it out for the coveted men’s singles crown. This highly anticipated final not only continues their thrilling tennis rivalry, but also symbolizes the changing of the guard in men’s tennis after the legendary era of Federer, Nadal, and Djokovic.

“I just can’t wait for Sunday,” said Alcaraz, the two-time defending Wimbledon champion, as he prepares to defend his crown once again on Centre Court. Sinner, too, is ready: “I’m very happy to share the court once again with Carlos.”

Alcaraz: The Grass King in the Making

Carlos Alcaraz has built a reputation for thriving on the big stage, and Wimbledon’s grass courts bring out some of his best tennis. Despite a slightly rocky start—going five sets with Fabio Fognini and dropping a set to Jan-Lennard Struff—the Spanish superstar has clicked into top form in the latter stages of the tournament.

After dispatching Andrey Rublev, Cam Norrie, and Taylor Fritz, Alcaraz’s serve has become a weapon. “I’m just serving really good. I feel really comfortable doing serve and volley,” he said, showcasing his adaptability and confidence.

His stats are impossible to ignore:

5-0 in Grand Slam finals
Two Wimbledon titles (2023, 2024)
8-4 head-to-head record against Sinner
Winner of their only previous Wimbledon meeting in 2022

Sinner: Calm, Clinical, and Ready for Revenge

Jannik Sinner, the reigning World No. 1, is in the form of his life. His path to the final wasn’t easy—an elbow injury against Grigor Dimitrov in the fourth round nearly ended his run. But the Italian showed incredible resilience and hasn’t dropped a set since.

“I think we’re handling this small problem very well,” Sinner said, downplaying any injury concerns. “Today I felt quite good already. No issue for Sunday.”

Despite this being his first Wimbledon final, Sinner knows what it takes. He was a point away from winning the Roland Garros final last month, and his aggressive, flat-hitting style suits the fast grass surface.

A Rivalry for the Ages: Alcaraz vs. Sinner

This final isn’t just a match—it’s the latest chapter in what’s fast becoming tennis’s next great rivalry. With thrilling past encounters at the French Open and other majors, Sinner vs. Alcaraz is already drawing comparisons to Federer-Nadal and Borg-McEnroe.

“It’s going to be difficult, I know that,” Sinner admitted. “But I’m looking forward to it. He’s the favorite. He’s won here two times in a row. But I like these challenges.”

Alcaraz, on the other hand, welcomes the rivalry.

“We just fight to engage more people to watch tennis. It’s great to share these big tournaments with Jannik,” he said.

Who’s the Favorite?

While both players are at the top of their game, Carlos Alcaraz holds a slight edge thanks to experience and a strong track record in Grand Slam finals. His ability to raise his level under pressure makes him the likely favorite. But Sinner’s steady form, strong return game, and rising confidence make this an unpredictable encounter.

Even Novak Djokovic picked Alcaraz as the slight favorite, and most experts agree.
