Janik Sinner and the Carlos Alcarath collide in the Great Final of Wimbledon With the two top tennis players in the world claiming the English Grand Slam trophy.
The Wimbledon final is a continuation of the stunning counter that started and culminated in Paris this year. Where Alcarath won the Roland Garros in a 5-hour and 29-minute race, saving three match points and recording the biggest final in the history of the tournament.
“It was the best race of my career,” the Spaniard admitted, with humor and determination: “I just hope I don’t spend more five and a half hours on the pitch. But if needed, I’ll do it. “
Opposite him, Yanik Sinner looks ready for… rematch. With self -restraint and maturity, he underlined:
“If the lost final in Paris was left on my mind, I couldn’t play in another final now.”
This is even the fourth consecutive Grand Slam final for the Italian, but also his first in Wimbledon, which gives him additional motivation.
Although Sinner is currently No. 1 in the world, Alcarath counts eight wins in 12 games between them, with the last one coming just a month ago. In addition, the Spaniard is the title defender and has won 20 consecutive matches at Wimbledon since 2022, when he was excluded from … Sinner.
Novak Djokovic, who knows them better than anyone, considers Alcarath slightly favorite:
“He already has two titles here, he plays with confidence, but Sinner also hit the ball. The balances are thin. “
The two have shared the last six Grand Slam titles (three each), and are capable of monopolizing the sport for the coming years. Sinner himself, however, remains landing:
“We cannot compare to what the Big 3 have done for 15 years. Six titles are just a year and a half. “
For his part, Alcarath does not hide the desire to write history:
“I hope our rivalry stays alive for the next five or ten years.”
