Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz are set to compete in the Wimbledon championship, following a recent five-set final at the French Open where Alcaraz emerged victorious. This matchup is significant as it is the first time since Federer and Nadal that two players have faced each other in both Roland-Garros and Wimbledon finals in one year. Alcaraz holds a 5-0 record in Grand Slam finals and carries a 24-match winning streak into this match. Sinner, despite battling an elbow injury, aims for his first Wimbledon title after recent successes in other Grand Slams.
This matchup marks the first time since Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal in 2006-2008 that the same two players meet in title matches at both Roland-Garros and Wimbledon in the same year.
Alcaraz defeated Sinner in five sets and came back from a two-set deficit, extending his Grand Slam final record to 5-0.
Sinner, who has three major trophies, is participating in his fourth consecutive Slam final, but this is his first at Wimbledon.
Sinner's recent performances include eliminating Novak Djokovic in the semifinals, stating his elbow injury should not be an issue on Sunday.
