Overview

  • Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner are set to meet on Centre Court on July 13 in their second consecutive Grand Slam final following Roland Garros.
  • Alcaraz enters as a two-time defending champion at Wimbledon, riding a 20-match grass-court winning streak and holding favorite status.
  • Jannik Sinner has dropped just 56 games on his path to the final, the fourth-fewest ever recorded by a man at Wimbledon.
  • In their head-to-head series, Alcaraz leads 8-4 and has won their last five encounters, though Sinner earned their only grass-court victory in 2022.
  • A victory would make Alcaraz only the second man in the Open Era after Björn Borg to claim back-to-back French Open and Wimbledon titles.
