Wimbledon Men’s Final Prediction: Jannik Sinner vs Carlos Alcaraz

Championship Sunday is nearly upon us. After some bumps and bruises throughout the Championships, No. 1 seed Jannik Sinner and No. 2 seed Carlos Alcaraz have found their way to a rematch of the epic French Open final five weeks ago. These two have established themselves at the pinnacle of the current men’s game, boasting a combined record of 42-1 since the beginning of May, excluding matches against each other.

Although the Italian is the No. 1 seed, Alcaraz, the two-time defending Wimbledon Champion, has defeated Sinner in five consecutive matches and is the betting favorite to win on Sunday. As always, we at LWOT offer our previews and predictions on the final. Shane Black, Yesh Ginsburg, Manan Mehta, Tope Oke, Jordan Reynolds, Ateet Shrivastava, and Jim Smith offer their insights.

Wimbledon Men’s Final Prediction

Jannik Sinner vs Carlos Alcaraz

Shane
Aren’t we lucky as tennis fans? Although it is impossible to ask these two to duplicate what they did at Roland Garros last month, there is no doubt we are in store for some terrific tennis. Neither man is without their signs of mortality throughout these Championships, but both should come into this match brimming with confidence. Although the Spaniard is the favorite, Sinner is too good to continue to fall short in this rivalry. He takes one step closer to the career Grand Slam.

Yesh
Jannik Sinner is lucky to still be in this tournament. He should have lost to Dimitrov, and he was fortunate to face an injured Djokovic. The last time he faced Alcaraz, he crumbled late. That will certainly be in his head as he faces the Spaniard on the latter’s favorite surface. I’m not sure this final will be so close.
Prediction: Alcaraz in 3

There is a small quirk to this that Alcaraz has won the last five encounters between the two. He has the mental edge. Considering all of the above, I will still pick Sinner as purely in this tournament, he has looked a cut above the rest of you, forget the unfortunate Dimitrov game.

Tope
The final we’ve all been expecting is upon us, and it promises to be fireworks in Wimbledon. I’ve predicted that Alcaraz will retain his title if he makes it to the championship match, and it stays that way. Everything points to the Spaniard achieving the three-peat. There’s the motivation of being a few points to assuming the world No. 1 position as well as achieveing the three-peat at Wimbledon, he’s clicked into gear in the latter stages and arguably the mentally stronger player, he has more experience on this turf and more crucially, he retains that psychological edge over the Italian with his stunning come back victory in Paris. I have no doubts whatsoever that Carlos will find a win in this, as he’s often done.

Regardless of how this match ends, Sinner has demonstrated his improvement on clay and grass this year. But I think the Italian can go a step further than he did at the French Open. Serve and return are more pivotal on grass than clay, which favours Sinner slightly more. Alcaraz is more flashy and produces more incredible shot-making, but the world No. 1 has a better chance of stifling that at Wimbledon. He could not have been closer in Paris, and had a chance to take revenge and send a message that would reverberate around the tennis world.

Ateet
This is the rematch of the French Open final and the most anticipated match in all of tennis at the moment. The stakes are high as Carlos Alcaraz looks to threepeat at Wimbledon, while Jannik Sinner aims to take revenge and win his first Slam outside of hard courts. Alcaraz was one point away from getting dragged to a fifth set against Fritz, but showed his magic to win in four. On the other hand, Sinner outclassed Novak Djokovic in the semifinals and will like his chances if he can bring that level again. The Spaniard has the mental advantage in this one, but I believe Sinner will be even more focused and won’t let this slip.

Jannik Sinner will rightly receive plaudits for his performance against Novak Djokovic, which was at times exceptional. But he has played well enough to suggest he can beat Carlos Alcaraz and banish the memories of the French Open final? Probably not. The reality is that Djokovic is a shadow of the player he once was – still one of the ten best players in the world, but no longer good enough to win the biggest titles. Alcaraz, in contrast, looks every inch the very best player in the world, regardless of what the rankings say. Expect him to underline why in Sunday’s final.
