Jannik Sinner faces Carlos Alcaraz at Wimbledon in a rematch of their epic French Open final
Sunday's matchup at Centre Court between the No. 1-ranked Sinner and No. 2 Alcaraz marks the first time the same two men faced off in the title matches on the clay at Roland-Garros and the grass at the All England Club in the same year since Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal did it in 2006, 2007 and 2008.

Alcaraz, a 22-year-old from Spain, defeated Sinner, a 22-year-old from Italy, in five sets spread over 5 hours, 29 minutes in Paris on June 8, coming back from a two-set deficit and saving three match points along the way.
That made Alcaraz 5-0 in Grand Slam finals, including victories in 2023 and 2024 at Wimbledon.
He also carries a career-best 24-match winning streak into Sunday and has beaten Sinner five times in a row.
Sinner owns three major trophies and will be playing in his fourth consecutive Slam final — but first at the All England Club.
He won the U.S. Open last September and the Australian Open this January.

Sinner has been wearing tape and an arm sleeve to protect his right elbow since falling in the opening game of his fourth-round win on Monday. After eliminating 24-time major champion Novak Djokovic in the semifinals, Sinner said he doesn't think his elbow will be an issue on Sunday.
Play is scheduled to begin Sunday at 4 p.m. local time, which is 11 a.m. ET.
Sinner was listed Saturday as the slight money-line favorite at -110 by BetMGM Sportsbook, with Alcaraz at -105.

Sinner-Alcaraz rivalry 'a gift to our sport'
The first person Jannik Sinner thanked in his speech after winning Wimbledon was Carlos Alcaraz. Speaking after the latest instalment of their captivating rivalry, Sinner said: "Carlos, thank you for the player you are. Advertisement "It is so difficult to play you but we have a great relationship off the court. "Keep going, keep pushing, you are going to hold this trophy many times - you already have twice!" A packed Centre Court crowd were almost willing Alcaraz to find a way to force a deciding fifth set and keep an absorbing contest going. But world number one Sinner powered to the finish line to end Alcaraz's title defence. It was their first meeting in a Wimbledon final. It is unlikely to be their last. Sinner is the first player to beat Alcaraz in a Grand Slam final. Alcaraz was the first to beat Sinner. Advertisement The pair have now won the past seven Grand Slam titles, with Sinner taking four. They met for the first time in a major final at last month's French Open, with Alcaraz recovering from two sets and three championship points down to win an epic, before Sinner took this year's Wimbledon title. They are the first pair to contest the French Open and Wimbledon finals in the same year since Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal in 2008. There is little that separates the two in terms of the numbers. Sinner has won 20 titles to Alcaraz's 21. The Spaniard also has the edge in Grand Slams, with five to Sinner's four. Advertisement Alcaraz still leads the head-to-head 8-5 - but Sinner has now snapped a five-match losing streak against the world number two. The Italian has also halted Alcaraz's winning run at 24 matches. Their trajectories have been similar. Over the past two seasons, Sinner has won 99 of his 110 matches and lifted 10 titles. Alcaraz has won 102 of his 121 matches and won nine trophies. Sunday's final was the second time Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz had met at Wimbledon, with Sinner also winning their 2022 fourth-round encounter [Getty Images] The pair also have consistently high-quality matches. Only four of their 13 matches have been straight-set wins, and three of their five major meetings have gone the distance. Alcaraz has won all three of their five-set encounters. The first came at the 2022 US Open, an epic quarter-final that lasted five hours and 15 minutes and finished at almost 3am. Advertisement Both of their French Open meetings went the full five sets, with this year's final lasting a gruelling five hours and 29 minutes. 'I keep looking up to Carlos' - Sinner on Alcaraz Sinner is the less expressive of the pair on court, although he was noticeably fired up throughout the Wimbledon final, with shouts of "let's go!" and the occasional sharp word to his box. In terms of playing style, he has the Novak Djokovic-esque movement in and out of the corners, ankles snapping worryingly close to the ground as he slides to chase down a shot. He used his huge serve and forehand to great effect against Alcaraz - but Sinner says he can still learn plenty from his opponent. Advertisement "I keep looking up to Carlos because even today I felt like he was doing a couple of things better than I did," Sinner said. "That's something we will work on because he's going to come for us again." 'No other rivalry has our level' - Alcaraz on Sinner Alcaraz is the showman of the rivalry. At times a walking highlight reel who smiles even when the point goes against him, he was mobbed by fans on his way to a practice session before the final. His serve was not at its best on Sunday - in part because Sinner did not allow it to be - but his shot-making ability is what makes him so watchable. Advertisement Alcaraz has often spoken about how the rivalry with Sinner pushes him to be better. "I think it's great for us and for tennis. Every time we play against each other, I think our level is really high," he said. "I don't see any player playing against each other having the level that we are playing when we face each other." 'These guys are saving men's tennis' With the 'Big Three' era having ended, and Djokovic the last man standing from the golden age of men's tennis, fans are looking for another rivalry to latch on to. Sinner and Alcaraz are the first to say their budding rivalry has some way to go before it reaches the heights of those before them - but it has all the hallmarks of another era-defining competitiveness. Advertisement "We have just come out of one of the most incredible eras and suddenly these two guys are stepping up," Pat Cash, the 1987 Wimbledon champion, said on BBC Radio 5 Live. "I always say Andre Agassi saved men's tennis when he came back and these guys are saving men's tennis now." Former world number one John McEnroe said the pair reminded him of his own battles with Bjorn Borg - the 'Fire and Ice' rivalry that ended tied 7-7 - and that of Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal. "That's what makes it great. The way they behave out there is completely different but both are equally effective," McEnroe said on BBC TV. Advertisement Former Wimbledon doubles champion Todd Woodbridge agreed, adding: "They have the best parts of those players' games, and they have taken it to the next level." But Rod Laver, a four-time Wimbledon champion, perhaps summed it up best. "Their growing rivalry is a gift to our sport, and it's matched by the genuine respect they show for each other," he wrote. "Win or lose, they compete with joy, class, and sportsmanship. That's what makes champions."

Ella Toone ‘celebrates to the sky' after delivering again at the Euros for England
'Tooney gets joy from creating, assists, goals,' said Georgia Stanway after England's 6-1 win over Wales. 'For me on the other side, I get joy from smashing people.' Sometimes it is as simple as that. Toone has delivered again at the Euros, scoring two goals and registering four assists in the Lionesses' last two games against the Netherlands and Wales. She has now scored four in her last four England games. She is the only player since records began in 2013 to score, assist and complete 100 per cent of her passes (21/21) in a Women's European Championship match, according to Opta. Advertisement Toone has become known for scoring in the big moments: the equaliser against Spain and the opener against Germany in the Euro 2022 quarter-final and final, the first goal in the Finalissima against Brazil and at the 2023 World Cup semi-final against Australia. There are greater challenges to come in Switzerland, with England having booked their place in the quarter-finals against Sweden, but Toone's performances carry an extra layer of significance. She is playing in her first tournament without father Nick, who died last September, three days short of his 60th birthday. Beth Mead, whose mother June died in January 2023, has been a shoulder to lean on throughout this tournament. 'We both said the first game (against France) we really struggled,' said Mead. 'You look to the stands for your person who was standing there and they are not there anymore. My mum was the first person I would look for in the stands so I understand how Ella felt in that moment. 'Tooney was unbelievable. She has really come into her own. Sometimes when you feel a bit low it brings you to the top of your game. I have done that before, been in a tough place and come back. You can see she is giving that energy and she deserves everything she is getting right now. Advertisement 'There have been moments when she has asked: 'Is this normal? Does that feel normal? Why am I thinking this?' I'm like: 'It's completely normal. I've been there and I still feel like it now.' We talk so easily about it but I've had a little bit longer to process it compared to her. We all deal with it differently but she is dealing with it pretty amazingly now.' Toone was 'absolutely buzzing' for Mead who 'sat a few defenders down' before scoring England's fifth. 'I was buzzing she got that tonight and we both could celebrate to the sky,' said Toone. 'I'm sure they will be up there with a few pints in their hands watching us. 'We have really bonded over such a terrible thing but it's nice to have someone who has been through it. We definitely have each other's backs, we are proud of each other and it's nice we are constantly talking about them. We know we are doing them proud.' Advertisement Lauren James started ahead of Toone, 25, in the opening 2-1 defeat against France but England were overrun against a technically and physically superior midfield. Sarina Wiegman has since opted to shift James to the right wing and Toone has shown consistency and efficiency in this midfield system. While there was debate heading into the Euros as to who should start in the No 10 role, the Manchester United attacking midfielder could not have done much more to cement her position after competition from Grace Clinton and Jess Park. 'We've managed to get both of them (James and Toone) on the pitch at the same time and they are two world-class players,' said player of the match Keira Walsh after the Wales win. Toone might feature fairly low down in most of the categories on the player dashboard below, but it is hard to argue against that when she ranks so highly in goals and assists. Advertisement Walsh also made sure to highlight Toone's defensive work, covering spaces which her fellow midfielders cannot reach. 'Massive credit to Ella Toone,' she said. 'She's come in and done an incredible job.' Stanway describes the midfield trio of her, Walsh and Toone as having a 'really good dynamic'. 'We communicate, look at each other and speak constantly,' she said. 'I like to be in the pocket, she likes to be in the pocket, Keira (Walsh) likes to be on the ball.' Despite Toone finding the Wales game, as she said, 'really difficult' because the opposition sat in a low block denying her space to run in behind, she still managed to get into good positions. She was disappointed to be taken off at half time with England 4-0 up and replaced by Park but Toone was one booking away from missing the quarter-final. This suggests she has a major role to play against Sweden on Thursday, who will pose a more physically intense battle. Toone's first goal, and England's second, came from best friend Alessia Russo pouncing on Wales' defensive errors. Toone was there to hammer the ball home while her pinpoint cross from the right to assist Lauren Hemp's header for England's third, and her cut-back to Russo for the fourth goal came from neat interchanges with James. The pass map above shows their connections on the right, while at times Stanway hugged the left touchline, rotating with Hemp. Advertisement 'I know that if she (James) has the ball and she gives it to me, I can give it back to her, in tight areas, I can run off her, I can make an unselfish run and let her run into the space I've created,' explained Toone. 'It's the players around me who make me feel at ease: Keira (Walsh) behind me, LJ (James) to the right, Alessia (Russo) up front. Every time I get the ball, I know there's someone to pass to. I feel really good at the minute, really confident and really enjoying my football.' This article originally appeared in The Athletic.

Report: Liverpool midfielders attract serious interest from West Ham
West Ham Eye Move for Liverpool Duo Harvey Elliott and Tyler Morton Youth-Driven Strategy at West Ham Under Potter As reported by ExWHUEmployee via The West Ham Way, West Ham United are now stepping up their pursuit of Liverpool midfielders Harvey Elliott and Tyler Morton. With the Hammers' summer business shifting focus to youth recruitment, the club is said to be 'seriously examining the prospect' of landing the talented pair — both aged 22 — to support their squad rebuild under new manager Graham Potter and Head of Recruitment Kyle Macaulay. Advertisement Their transfer approach is clear: reduce the average age of the squad and inject fresh energy into a team that has looked stagnant in recent seasons. The signings of younger prospects like El Hadji Malick Diouf reflect this ethos, and the interest in Elliott and Morton aligns seamlessly. 'Tyler Morton and Harvey Elliott are also likely to have interest stepped up this week,' ExWHUEmployee confirmed, offering further credibility to what could become a significant piece of transfer business between Liverpool and West Ham. Elliott's Liverpool Future Under the Microscope Harvey Elliott's situation is particularly intriguing. Despite impressing in the 2023/24 campaign, the young midfielder's game time was drastically reduced last season. Even after starring for England U21s and earning the Player of the Tournament accolade during their victorious Euro campaign, Elliott appears to be on the fringes at Liverpool. Advertisement With Liverpool undergoing major squad reshuffling — five signings already completed and multiple exits on the horizon — Elliott may well be among those looking for a fresh start. This isn't a case of Liverpool pushing him out; rather, it's about a player eager for consistent minutes. West Ham could offer just that — a Premier League platform with the promise of regular football under a progressive manager like Potter. Tyler Morton Seeking Senior Step-Up Like Elliott, Tyler Morton also impressed for England U21s this summer. After a strong loan spell at Hull City in 23/24, he has matured into a reliable deep-lying midfielder. At Liverpool, however, opportunities remain scarce due to a packed midfield roster. Photo: IMAGO Advertisement Morton has long been earmarked as a talent, but now he finds himself at a career crossroads. At 22, a move to a club like West Ham might offer the first real chance of staking a long-term claim in the Premier League. Given his technical ability and game intelligence, he fits Potter's preferred system — possession-based and progressive. Our View – Anfield Index Analysis From a Liverpool supporter's perspective, this report paints a bittersweet picture. Harvey Elliott and Tyler Morton represent two of the brightest academy graduates in recent years, both with clear potential to play Premier League football for years to come. But football is often about timing, and right now, both players find themselves on the outside looking in. Advertisement Elliott, in particular, has long been seen as a future star. His skill, energy and versatility make him a fan favourite, but the brutal truth is that minutes have been hard to come by. If he leaves, many supporters will understand — not because he isn't good enough, but because he deserves to play regularly. Morton's case is less emotionally charged but equally pragmatic. He's developed well and may now need a new environment to truly kick on. If West Ham is that place, Liverpool fans will wish him well — with an eye on a potential buy-back clause, just in case he flourishes. Ultimately, this potential double departure would be a classic case of right players, wrong time. Liverpool's midfield evolution may leave little room for sentiment.
