As the 2025 Wimbledon Championships reach their climax, tennis fans around the globe are eagerly awaiting a blockbuster final between two of the sport’s brightest stars—Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner. The duo, who lit up Roland Garros with a scintillating final earlier this year, will now lock horns on the revered grass courts of Centre Court, vying for the most prestigious title in tennis.
While their head-to-head rivalry has grown into one of the most compelling narratives in recent years, the stakes have never been higher than now. Alcaraz, the reigning two-time Wimbledon champion, seeks to cement his grass-court dominance. Meanwhile, Sinner—World No. 1 and one of the most complete players in today’s game—aims to rewrite his Grand Slam story after narrowly missing out in Paris.
Jannik Sinner Backed by Former US Stars
Amid the frenzy of predictions and analyses, two former American tennis stalwarts—John Isner and Sam Querrey—have weighed in on who they believe will triumph in Sunday’s high-voltage final. Speaking on the Morning Major Podcast, both Isner and Querrey gave a confident nod to Jannik Sinner, citing his growth, grit, and grass-court prowess as key factors.
“I am going with Sinner. I think it is going to be somewhat comfortable,” said Isner. “I have personal experience playing this guy at Wimbledon in 2022 and I thought he was so incredibly good on grass and now this is three years later and he is a way better player."
Isner emphasized that Sinner’s movement and serve on grass make him an elite threat—perhaps even more so than Carlos Alcaraz.
“I think grass can be his best surface. It just gives him a little extra on his serve and his movement is so superior to anyone else apart from Carlos. So he is getting the guy who has been his kryptonite… this is his chance to put that behind him and sort of slay the dragon that is Carlos Alcaraz and I think he is going to do it on Sunday.”
Querrey echoed the sentiment, highlighting the mental toughness Jannik Sinner has shown throughout the season.
“This one is a tough one to pick. For the sake of the rivalry I want Sinner, just because Carlos Alcaraz is winning the big matches when they play each other. I want Sinner to win one to even up this rivalry to pour more fuel on that fire."
“I also think Sinner… I think he is going to show the world that I lost that devastating Roland Garros final and I am so mentally strong and I’m back and I think he wants it even more because of that to prove to people that is not going to put him down.”
A rivalry for the ages
Sunday’s final isn’t just about a Wimbledon trophy—it’s about legacy, resilience, and narrative. Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner are ushering in a new era of tennis, and their duels have already drawn comparisons to some of the sport’s greatest rivalries. With both players showcasing near-flawless form en route to the final, fans are bracing for a classic.
