Wimbledon 2025: Sinner overthrows Alcaraz

* PRE-MATCH PREDICTIONS

Sinner remains firmly at world number one despite a three-month ban, while Alcaraz has the advantage in the head-to-head, having won five straight matches and leading 8-4 after 12 meetings with his Italian rival.

Alcaraz is the reigning Wimbledon champion and the Spaniard is considered the "boss" of the big matches. In his still relatively young career, he has won 12 - lost 1 in all Grand Slam and Masters 1000 finals. Even more impressively, he has won 14 - lost 1 in matches that went to the fifth set.

Three years ago, Sinner defeated Alcaraz in the fourth round of Wimbledon 3-1 (6-1, 6-4, 6-7, 6-3). Since then, Alcaraz has not lost a Grand Slam on grass, and he has created a winning streak of 20 consecutive matches – the fifth best winning streak in history, tied with his compatriot Rafael Nadal.

Sinner has also learned quickly, reaching the finals at both Roland Garros and Wimbledon, two venues with completely different playing surfaces and conditions. This is a positive sign for the 23-year-old, as hard courts have been where he has played best in recent years. While Sinner is reaching his first Wimbledon final, Alcaraz has won the title here for the last two years.
