LONDON — It’s fitting that the Wimbledon final between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner on Sunday represents the first time the same two men meet for that title right after playing for the French Open trophy since a couple of guys named Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal did so every year from 2006-2008.
Top seed and three-time grand slam champion Jannik Sinner faces off against rival Carlos Alcaraz, with the Spaniard bidding for an elusive ‘double double’ - winning the ‘Channel Slam’ of French Open and Wimbledon twice in succession - and to seal three straight titles in SW19.
Carlos Alcaraz is slightly favored against Jannik Sinner in the Wimbledon final, a rematch from an epic French Open final just a month ago.
On the men’s side, Alcaraz has taken the tennis world by storm. He’s won back-to-back titles at Wimbledon and is now looking to make it three straight. His strong game at the net and his athleticism make him perfect for the fast surface of grass.
Moving within one victory of a third consecutive Wimbledon championship at age 22, Carlos Alcaraz defeated Taylor Fritz in the semifinals.
