The matchup everyone wanted is here: No. 1 Jannik Sinner vs. No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz in the men’s final of Wimbledon. It’s a rematch of their legendary showdown in the 2025 French Open — an Alcaraz victory — that lasted more than five hours.
“I just hope not to be 5 1/2 hours on court again,” Alcaraz said this week. “If I have to, I will. But I think it’s going to be great.”
Added Sinner: “Hopefully it’s going to be a good match, like the last one. I don’t know if it’ll get better, because I don’t think it’s possible.”
Alcaraz got past American Taylor Fritz 6-4, 5-7, 6-3, 7-6 (6) in Friday’s semifinals. Sinner, immediately after, dispelled seven-time Wimbledon winner Novak Djokovic in straight sets.
This will be their fifth meeting in a major, with Alcaraz leading 3-1.
