LONDON — It’s fitting that the Wimbledon final between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner on Sunday represents the first time the same two men meet for that title right after playing for the French Open trophy since a couple of guys named Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal did so every year from 2006-2008.

Carlos Alcaraz is slightly favored against Jannik Sinner in the Wimbledon final, a rematch from an epic French Open final just a month ago.

By Martyn Herman LONDON (Reuters) -For Jannik Sinner, Sunday's Wimbledon final offers a chance of redemption; for Carlos Alcaraz it is an opportunity to join an elite club of men who have won the title three years in succession.

On the men’s side, Alcaraz has taken the tennis world by storm. He’s won back-to-back titles at Wimbledon and is now looking to make it three straight. His strong game at the net and his athleticism make him perfect for the fast surface of grass.

Moving within one victory of a third consecutive Wimbledon championship at age 22, Carlos Alcaraz defeated Taylor Fritz in the semifinals.

The two-time defending champion beat the American No. 5 seed in four sets on a sweltering afternoon on Centre Court.

Twice defending champion Carlos Alcaraz tamed the towering Taylor Fritz to reach his third straight Wimbledon final, rediscovering his A-game when it mattered most to battle past the American in a 6-4 5-7 6-3 7-6(6) victory on Friday.

Moving within one victory of a sixth Grand Slam title at age 22, Alcaraz defeated Taylor Fritz, 6-4, 5-7, 6-3, 7-6 (8-6).

After an all-time classic in Paris, the world’s two best tennis players get a coveted Wimbledon rematch.
