Video – The Friendly Exchange Between Alcaraz and Sinner Before the Wimbledon Final
Sinner and Alcaraz will face each other in a second consecutive Grand Slam final. The Italian will seek revenge against the Spaniard after their memorable five-hour-plus match at Roland-Garros (4-6, 6-7, 6-4, 7-6, 7-6).
This will be their 13th duel and their 5th meeting in a tournament final. So far, the El Palmar native holds a clear lead, 8-4, including five consecutive wins, but the world No. 1 claimed their only grass-court encounter (Wimbledon 2022, 6-1, 6-4, 6-7, 6-3).
Before this highly anticipated clash, the two displayed great camaraderie when they crossed paths at the legendary English tournament, both having always expressed immense mutual respect.
As a reminder, Alcaraz will be playing for his sixth Grand Slam final victory in as many attempts, while Sinner will aim to secure his fourth major title—his first on a surface other than hard court.
