Wimbledon Men's Final 2025 Live Updates: Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner will clash in a blockbuster Wimbledon final on Sunday, continuing a thrilling rivalry that has come to define modern men’s tennis.

Between them, the two young stars have won seven of the past eight Grand Slams, with both claiming three each. Overall, Alcaraz has five in his bag and Sinner three.

Alcaraz, the two-time defending champion, heads into the final on a 24-match winning streak and is unbeaten at Wimbledon since 2022. He holds an 8–4 head-to-head advantage over Sinner and famously came from two sets down to beat the Italian in a five-and-a-half-hour epic at Roland Garros last month.

“I’m pretty sure he’s going to take a lot of things from the French Open final,” Alcaraz said. “He’s going to be better physically, better mentally. He’s going to be prepared to give 100 percent.”

World number one Sinner, in his first Wimbledon final, is out to avenge that loss and continue his own rise. “I always try to put myself in these kinds of situations that I really love. Sundays at every tournament are very special,” he said.

Even Novak Djokovic admitted the match is tough to call: “I think I will give a slight edge to Carlos... but it’s going to be a very close match-up.”
