Sinner unfazed by French Open collapse as he prepares for Alcaraz rematch
The world number one crushed seven-time champion Novak Djokovic 6-3, 6-3, 6-4 in under two hours on Friday to set up a title showdown against the Spanish two-time defending champion.
Alcaraz had earlier dispatched US fifth seed Taylor Swift in four sets on Centre Court.
Just weeks ago at Roland Garros, Alcaraz came back from two sets down against Sinner, saving three match points to win a fifth Grand Slam.
But Italy's Sinner, 23, played down the lingering impact of that loss in the aftermath of Friday's semi-final win against Djokovic.
'I think if it would be a lot in my head, I would not be in the situation to play a final again, I guess,' he said.
'I'm very happy to share once again the court with Carlos. It's going to be difficult, I know that. 'But I'm looking forward to it. I try always to put myself in these kind of situations that I really love. Sundays at every tournament are very special.'
The top seed said he would not be able to fully assess the lasting impact of his loss at Roland Garros until he stepped onto the court for his first Wimbledon final.
'I think it's something what you feel before the match and also during the match,' he said. 'I can give you answers after.
'But no, it's different. Different match. I'm looking forward to it.'
Sinner, who has won three majors, said Alcaraz was the favourite to win a third straight title at the All England Club.

The Spaniard has the edge, winning eight of their 12 matches, including the past five.
'He won here two times in a row,' said Sinner. 'He's again in the final. It's very tough to beat him on grass, but I like these challenges.
'I like to go head-to-head and trying to see what I can do and what I can reach.'
Sinner, who has shared the past six Grand Slam titles with Alcaraz, said it was too soon to compare their dominance with the era of the 'Big Three' -- Djokovic, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal.
'You cannot compare what the big three did for 15-plus years. Six Grand Slams are one-anda-half years. It's not that big yet.
'Of course, we find ourself, again, in this position. This is the second consecutive Grand Slam that we are in the final and playing each other, which is great from my side. 'I believe it's good for the sport. The more rivalries we have from now on, the better it is, because people want to see young players going against each other.
'I'm happy to be in that position, but let's see in the future. If we can make that happen for the next three, four years, then people can think about. Let's see.'

Sinner unfazed by French Open collapse as he prepares for Alcaraz rematch
Jannik Sinner played down the impact of his painful defeat against Carlos Alcaraz in the French Open final as he prepares for a rematch at Wimbledon on Sunday.

Swiatek claims historic slam
Iga Swiatek demolished Amanda Anisimova 6-0, 6-0 in the most one-sided women's Wimbledon final for 114 years to seal her sixth Grand Slam. The Polish eighth seed, who has now won all six major finals in which she has competed, was in charge from the first point and wrapped up victory in just 57 minutes. It is the first time a woman has won a final at Wimbledon without dropping a game since 1911. And Swiatek, 24, is just the second player in the Open era to win a major title without losing a game in the final after Steffi Graf beat Natalia Zvereva at the 1988 French Open. Swiatek, who reached the final of the grass-court tournament at Bad Homburg two weeks ago, has looked increasingly strong while the top seeds tumbled at the All England Club. She lost just one set in her run to the final. But US 13th seed Anisimova was expected to prove a stern test after ousting world number one Aryna Sabalenka in the semi-finals. Anisimova made a nervous start in hot conditions on Centre Court. She was broken in the first game, soon slipping 2-0 behind and the signs looked ominous. She appeared to have found her feet in her next service game but the tenacious Swiatek refused to give ground and recovered to move 3-0 ahead when Anisimova double-faulted. At 4-0 down Anisimova was facing a first-set wipe-out but she was powerless to halt the rampant Swiatek, who sealed the first set 6-0 in just 25 minutes. The American won just six points on her serve in the first set and committed 14 unforced errors. An increasingly desperate Anisimova could not stem the tide in the second set, double-faulting again in the third game to give her opponent game point and then netting a backhand. The crowd got behind her but to no avail as Swiatek kept up her level, serving out to win and celebrating before con-soling her devastated opponent. The distraught Anisimova left court briefly before returning for the trophy presentation. Swiatek is Wimbledon's eighth consecutive first-time women's champion since Serena Williams won her seventh and final title at the All England Club in 2016.

Djokovic admits age catching up with him after Wimbledon defeat
Novak Djokovic said the reality of his age was hitting him 'like never before' after he was crushed by world number one Jannik Sinner in the Wimbledon semi-finals on Friday. The 38-year-old was aiming for a record 25th Grand Slam title and an eighth Wimbledon crown, which would have pulled him level with Roger Federer's record of eight men's titles. He appeared limited in his movements against his 23-year-old opponent, who will face two-time defending champion Carlos Alcaraz in Sunday's final, and admitted afterwards that he had struggled. Djokovic fell awkwardly late in his quarter-final victory over Flavio Cobolli, sustaining a leg injury. ' It wasn't really a pleasant feeling on the court,' he said. 'I don't want to talk, in details, about my injury and just whine about not managing to play my best. 'I want to congratulate Jannik for another great performance. That's it. He's in the finals. He was too strong.' Djokovic was forced to pull out of the Australian Open after just one set of his semi-final against Alexander Zverev earlier this year after suffering a muscle tear. But he denied he was suffering bad fortune. 'It's just age, the wear and tear of the body,' he said. 'As much as I'm taking care of it, the reality hits me right now, last year and a half, like never before, to be honest.
