Carlos Alcaraz will play his third consecutive Wimbledon final on Sunday, a milestone he achieved by overcoming the challenge of Taylor Fritz 6-4, 5-7, 6-3, 7-6(6). The Spaniard took two hours and 49 minutes to move up to 3-0 against Fritz in their head-to-head.
In the second semi-final, World No. 1 Jannik Sinner defeated Novak Djokovic in straight sets. This is Sinner’s second straight victory over the seven-time Wimbledon champion. Djokovic sustained an injury late in the quarter-final match against Flavio Cobolli, and his movements were hampered against Sinner.
The Italian posted a comfortable 6-3, 6-3, 6-4 victory over the 38-year-old Djokovic to book passage into his maiden Wimbledon final. It took less than two hours for the top seed to sweep aside Djokovic, who was playing a record 14th semi-final at SW19.
The Serb briefly broke away from Sinner to take a 3-0 lead in the third set, but the Italian quickly regrouped, winning the next five games to bring himself back into the set.
Alcaraz is on a career-best 24-match winning streak, going back to his Rome title run. That uninterrupted run was nearly brought to an end by Sinner at Roland Garros. But Alcaraz survived three championship points and scripted a 4-6, 6-7(4), 6-4, 7-6(3), 7-6(2) victory against the World No. 1.
The duo has monopolised the Grand Slam events since the start of the 2024 season, splitting the six majors equally. Alcaraz and Sinner have won eight Grand Slams between them, with the Spaniard on five. Alcaraz will aim to improve to 6-0 in major finals. He is currently second only to Roger Federer, who is 7-0 in Grand Slam title rounds.
Sinner survived a scare against Grigor Dimitrov in the fourth round but made it through to the last eight after the Bulgarian retired. Alcaraz saw off Fabio Fognini in a scrappy five-set win over the unseeded Italian in the opening round. Other than that, the two contenders have not made many mistakes in the run-up to the final, where they will renew their rivalry.
