The two-time defending champion Carlos Alcaraz is just one win away from winning his third Wimbledon title on the trot. He has made it to the finals as World No.1 Jannik Sinner stands between him and the title. The Spaniard got the better off the Italian after saving three championship points last month during the French Open final to successfully defend his title.
Which tennis racket is Carlos Alcaraz using at Wimbledon?
Carlos Alcaraz's all-round game has been backed by his Babolat tennis racket. He is currently using the Babolat Pure Aero 98 and has been using the same model since the 2022 US Open, his first Grand Slam title. This version of the racket is sublime for the players who love to play attacking game using both spin and precision. The 98 sq. inch frame with a thinner beam and 16X20 string pattern provides more stability to the racket.
The aerodynamic frame of the racket helps with the head speed. Flax fibers are the usual as they help with shock absorption. In the case of Alcaraz, his racket is quite modified. It is done in order to improve his serve and he started doing it from this year itself. Not just this, he has an extra five grams of weight, which has helped him with positive results for his serve.
Carlos Alcaraz will now be portraying his talent on the Centre Court when he takes on Jannik Sinner in the finals of Wimbledon. The Spaniard is also a win away from winning his third Wimbledon title on the trot and joining the likes of Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic, who have won the championship three times consecutively.
Carlos Alcaraz vs Jannik Sinner Wimbledon 2025 final
Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner will once again renew their rivalry during the finals of 2025 Wimbledon. This will be their 13th meeting overall and their second on the trot after last month's French Open final. The Spaniard has a 8-4 record in head to head and has also won the last five matches.
However, the only match between the pair won by Sinner on grass came at 2022 Wimbledon in four sets. That was also the last time Carlos Alcaraz lost a match at SW19. He won his first title in 2023 and then successfully defended it the following years. If the World No.1 manages to defeat the Spaniard, then it would be his only third defeat at the venue.
Meanwhile, Carlos Alcaraz is the firm favorite going into the match, considering his 24-match winning streak. His unbeaten run includes two wins over Sinner in title rounds. Apart from the French Open defeat, he beat Sinner in the Italian Open final as well. The tournament marked the start of his unbeaten run which is by far the longest of his career.
