Can Alcaraz, Sinner Wimbledon final match French Open classic? 'Not possible….but you never know,' says Sinner; 'Best match I have ever played so far,' says Alcaraz
Jannik Sinner says it's unlikely, but you never know – when asked if he and Carlos Alcaraz can match the theatre of French Open final played 35 days ago. Ahead of Sunday's edition of the rivalry, where Alcaraz has won 5 of their last meetings, world number one Sinner hoped they could top Roland Garros. 'We saw the last final – you never know (what will happen). Hopefully it's going to be a good match like the last one, I don't know if it can be better because I don't think it's possible. But we will do our best,' Sinner said after the semis. At Roland Garros, Alcaraz, the defending champion, came from two sets and three championship points down to beat Sinner on clay. Both have been expectedly busy on grass with the Spaniard attempting to defend his Wimbledon crown, so Alcaraz hasn't gone back to watching it. 'I've just seen a few clips and a few points but not that much,' he had said after his semi-final win over Taylor Fritz, given he made the said history in the longest final. But he called it his finest match yet. 'I am still thinking about that moment sometimes. It was the best match I have ever played so far. I'm not surprised he pushed me to the limit. I expect that on Sunday,' he said. 2025 has been a Grand Slam premium year, as it's the first time since 1978 that top two seeds have battled for the men's singles crown in first three Slams of the year in Open era, according to BBC. It's kept Novak Djokovic from winning his 25th. 'I reach the final stages, I reach the semis of every slam this year, but I have to play Sinner or Alcaraz. These guys are fit, young, sharp. I feel like I'm going into the match with tank half empty,' he said. However, both the protagonists are grounded in making comparisons and Sinner reiterates they are still Sone way off Federer, Nadal and Djokovic heyday. 'You cannot compare what the big three did for 15-plus years. Six Grand Slams are one-and-a-half years. It's not that big yet,' he was quoted saying by BBC. As per BBC's MatchMathMan, Sinner, has lost just 11 of the 127 matches he has contested – meaning almost half of his losses in that time have been to Alcaraz. However, at Wimbledon, their last meeting saw Sinner win. In 2022. Alcaraz remembered it vividly. 'I remember that match, but it was three years ago. We are completely different player on grass, but on all surfaces. I'm pretty sure that it's going to be different,' Alcaraz stated.

Sinner vs Alcaraz head-to-head: Who will win Wimbledon 2025 men's final?
A blockbuster finale awaits at Centre Court on Sunday, July 13, as Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner reignite their thrilling rivalry in the Wimbledon 2025 men's singles final. Their most recent battle came just a month ago in the French Open final, where Alcaraz stormed back from two sets down to edge Sinner in a five-set marathon that lasted 5 hours and 29 minutes — the second-longest major final in history. That win extended the Spaniard's head-to-head dominance to five straight victories over the Italian, placing a mental hurdle firmly in Sinner's path. Now, the stakes are higher. Alcaraz is on a 24-match unbeaten run and stands one win away from becoming only the fifth man to claim three consecutive Wimbledon titles, joining the likes of Borg, Federer and Djokovic. He has swept titles this year at the Italian Open, Roland Garros and Queen's Club, and has looked sharp and composed on grass throughout the fortnight. Carlos Alcaraz in 2025 Alcaraz has been in imperious form in 2025, winning the Italian Open, French Open and Queen's Club, and is currently on a 24-match winning streak. At Wimbledon, he's looked sharp and confident, surviving early tests and raising his level when it mattered. The Spaniard has embraced the Centre Court spotlight, and with each passing round, he's looked increasingly like the man to beat. Jannik Sinner in 2025 Sinner entered the year on a high, winning his maiden Grand Slam at the Australian Open and ascending to world No. 1. He's played with great assurance throughout Wimbledon, defeating strong opponents with relative ease. Despite a minor elbow scare earlier in the tournament, he has looked physically ready. After falling short in the French Open final, Sinner has a golden opportunity to reach his first Wimbledon title and avenge his recent loss to Alcaraz. Overall head-to-head: Sinner vs Alcaraz Carlos Alcaraz leads Jannik Sinner 8–4 in their head-to-head record. Sinner won four of their first seven meetings, including matches at Wimbledon 2022, Umag 2022, and Masters semi-finals in Miami and Beijing in 2023. Since March 2024, Alcaraz has won five straight matches against Sinner — at Indian Wells, Roland Garros, Beijing, Rome, and again at Roland Garros in the 2025 final. Sinner vs Alcaraz at Wimbledon Sinner and Alcaraz have faced each other once at Wimbledon. That match came in 2022 in the fourth round, where Sinner won in four sets: 6–1, 6–4, 6–7(8), 6–3. It is Sinner's only win over Alcaraz on grass. Alcaraz has not faced Sinner at Wimbledon since then but has won the title in both 2023 and 2024. Sinner vs Alcaraz in Grand Slams Alcaraz leads 4–1 in Grand Slam meetings. Sinner's only Slam win against Alcaraz came at Wimbledon 2022. Alcaraz won their next four Slam meetings: US Open 2022 quarter-final (5 sets), Roland Garros 2024 semi-final (5 sets), Roland Garros 2025 final (5 sets), and also beat Sinner at Indian Wells and Beijing between those events.
