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.

Jannik Sinner stunned Novak Djokovic in straight sets at Wimbledon, setting up a final clash with Carlos Alcaraz. Sinner's dominant performance ended Djokovic's streak of Wimbledon final appearances going back to 2018.

They have faced each other nine times overall, with Djokovic claiming four victories and Sinner winning the other five. The young Italian has also won each of their last four meetings, a run which dates back to 2023. Federer is backing Djokovic to buck the trend at the next time of asking, though.
