Sinner, Alcaraz and Wimbledon
Digest more
Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner are set to resume their ongoing rivalry on Sunday afternoon in the Wimbledon final. Alcaraz is going in search of a third-straight title at SW19, having reached the final courtesy of a semi-final win over Taylor Fritz, with world number one Sinner earning his place by sweeping aside Novak Djokovic.
Alcaraz prevailed on that occasion, battling back from two sets down to claim the spoils at Roland Garros. He is chasing a third successive Wimbledon title and will need to be at his very best to overcome the challenge posed by Sinner. The latter is desperate to avenge his defeat in Paris by denying Alcaraz another moment of glory.
Alcaraz and Sinner's second major final entrenches them as world No. 1 and world No. 2. It wasn't this way more recently than people think.
