Alcaraz-Sinner Wimbledon 2025 final mirrors 2008 Federer-Nadal rematch

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. That's because the only real competition the No. 1-ranked Sinner and the No. 2-ranked Alcaraz face at the moment comes from each other not anyone else currently on the men's tennis tour and the only comparisons that feel somewhat appropriate come by measuring them against the greatness of the Big Three. Let's be clear: It's too early to put Alcaraz or Sinner in a class with Federer and Nadal each retired with at least 20 Grand Slam titles or Novak Djokovic, who is still going at age 38 with 24 majors. But as Djokovic himself put it: "We know they're the dominant force right now." Sinner and Alcaraz have combined to win the past 6 major titlesThey have combined to win the last six majors, a .

Novak Djokovic plans to return to Wimbledon for at least one more run

Novak Djokovic wanted to make this much clear after losing to Jannik Sinner in the Wimbledon semifinals Friday: This was not a farewell performance. Djokovic intends to compete again at the All England Club. I'm not planning to finish my Wimbledon career today, the 38-year-old Djokovic said. I'm planning to come back definitely at least one more time. His 6-3, 6-3, 6-4 defeat at Centre Court against the No. 1-ranked Sinner put an end to Djokovic's latest attempt to tie Roger Federer's men's record of eight championships at Wimbledon and to claim an unprecedented 25th Grand Slam title overall. Djokovic was not fully able to compete at his best level, two days after taking what he described as a nasty and awkward fall in the last game of his quarterfinal victory. I don't want to talk in details about my injury and just whine about not managing to play my best, Djokovic said Friday. I do feel disappointed that I just wasn't able to move as well as I thought or hoped that I would. He

Queen Camilla visits Wimbledon and watches QF matches at Centre Court

Queen Camilla returned to Wimbledon for Wednesday's quarterfinal matches a year after joining in the wave with a No. 1 Court crowd. Camilla, the wife of King Charles III, visited with All England Club chair Debbie Jevans in the morning before play got started at the grass-court Grand Slam tournament. At Centre Court, Camilla watched as unseeded Belinda Bencic beat No. 7 Mirra Andreeva 7-6 (3), 7-6 (2). British actor Hugh Grant was also seated in the Royal Box. Earlier, Camilla spoke to seven-time Wimbledon champion Novak Djokovic and met lead groundsperson Will Brierley, lead gardener Robin Murphy, heritage collections manager Malin Lundin, as well as a ball girl and ball boy. Djokovic declined to say what he and Camilla spoke about but said it was a nice exchange. Of course, it's a great honor and privilege for me to be able to shake hands with the Queen of England. I've had that honor, as well, 2010, with the late Queen Elizabeth, he said. Djokovic beat No. 22 seed Flavio Cobol

Sinner beats Shelton to reach Wimbledon semis despite elbow injury

Jannik Sinner sure didn't play like someone dealing with an injured right elbow Wednesday, using terrific serving and his usual booming forehand to dismiss 10th-seeded Ben Shelton 7-6 (2), 6-4, 6-4 and earn a second appearance in the Wimbledon semifinals. The No. 1-ranked Sinner wore a white sleeve on his right arm with strips of tape visible underneath one above the elbow, one below it two days after he was hurt when he slipped and fell in the opening game of his fourth-round match against Grigor Dimitrov. Sinner said he felt pain when he hit serves or forehands in that contest, and he dropped the first two sets before moving into the quarterfinals when Dimitrov quit in the third set because he tore a chest muscle. Sinner, a three-time Grand Slam champion and the runner-up to Carlos Alcaraz at the French Open last month, had an MRI exam on Tuesday and initially canceled a practice session that day but did hit some balls in a light session at an indoor court later. Against Shelto

Iga Swiatek's first Wimbledon semifinal comes against Belinda Bencic

Iga Swiatek reached the Wimbledon semifinals for the first time with a 6-2, 7-5 victory over 19th-seeded Liudmila Samsonova that went from a stroll to a bit of a struggle in the late stages Wednesday. "Even though I'm in the middle of the tournament, I already got goosebumps after this win," said Swiatek, who will face unseeded Belinda Bencic on Thursday for a spot in the final. I'm super happy and super proud of myself. Bencic beat No. 7 Mirra Andreeva 7-6 (3), 7-6 (2) to reach her first Grand Slam semifinal since the 2019 U.S. Open. The other women's semifinal is No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka against No. 13 Amanda Anisimova; they advanced with wins Tuesday. It doesn't end here, Bencic said. There will be quite a showdown in the men's semifinals Friday, when 24-time major champion Novak Djokovic takes on No. 1 Jannik Sinner. Djokovic ended up face-down in the grass at Centre Court on a late fall but that didn't prevent him from beating No. 22 Flavio Cobolli 6-7 (6), 6-2, 7-5, 6-4 Wednesda

Wimbledon 2025: Players fined for swearing, racket abuse, misconduct

Tennis players at Wimbledon have been racking up fines for swearing too loudly, unsportsmanlike conduct and abuse of rackets or equipment. An updated list of fines released Wednesday by the All England Club showed that 2024 men's doubles champion Henry Patten received the biggest fine $12,500 in the category of verbal abuse. The British player and doubles partner Harri Heliovaara won their their first Grand Slam title a year ago at Wimbledon. Patten was fined on June 29 for what multiple British media outlets described as alleged verbal abuse of a staff member at an off-site practice ground. Patten told local media that he has filed an appeal that will be handled after the tournament. Patten and Heliovaara were eliminated in the quarterfinals on Wednesday. Amanda Anisimova, who plays top-ranked Aryna Sabalenka in the semifinals on Thursday, picked up a $4,000 fine for unsportsmanlike conduct during her fourth-round victory over Linda Noskova. French doubles player Theo Arribage

Wimbledon 2025: Djokovic makes record 14th semis, to face No. 1 Sinner next

At least Novak Djokovic could laugh about it immediately afterward. Yes, he took what he called a nasty and awkward fall on his second match point at Wimbledon on Wednesday. Yes, he slid into the splits and ended up face-down on the Centre Court grass. And, yes, those sorts of things aren't ideal for a 38-year-old seeking an unprecedented 25th Grand Slam title. Still, Djokovic dusted himself off and took the next two points, reaching the semifinals at the All England Club for a men's-record 14th time with a 6-7 (6), 6-2, 7-5, 6-4 victory over No. 22 seed Flavio Cobolli to set up a showdown against No. 1 Jannik Sinner. Obviously, (my) body is not the same today like it was before, Djokovic said at his news conference, so I guess the real impact or effect of what happened, I will feel tomorrow. So let's see. I'm hoping in the next 24, 48 hours, that the severity of ... what happened is not too bad, that I'll be able to play at my best and free of pain in two days." That's when he wil

Wimbledon 2025: Electronic line calling system malfunctions during QF match

A malfunction with Wimbledon's new electronic line calling system required a point to be replayed during a quarterfinal match between Taylor Fritz and Karen Khachanov on Tuesday. The gaffe occurred during the first game of the fourth set on Court No. 1 after Fritz had served at 15-0 and the players exchanged shots. Then came what sounded like a fault call. Chair umpire Louise Azemar-Engzell stopped play and a few moments later ordered the players to replay the last point due to a malfunction." The All England Club said it was looking into the issue. On Monday, club officials blamed human error for a glaring mistake in the electronic system that replaced human line judges this year. Club chief executive Sally Bolton said Monday that the technology was inadvertently deactivated by someone for three points at Centre Court during Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova's three-set victory over Sonay Kartal a day earlier in the fourth round. On one point, a shot by Kartal clearly landed past the ..

Wimbledon 2025: Jannik Sinner cancels practice a day after hurting elbow

Top-ranked Jannik Sinner canceled his practice session at Wimbledon on Tuesday after sustaining a right elbow injury the night before in a fourth-round match against Grigor Dimitrov. Sinner, who advanced when Dimitrov quit because of a pectoral injury, faces No. 10 Ben Shelton in the quarterfinals Wednesday. The three-time Grand Slam champion's practice session at Wimbledon's Aorangi Park had been scheduled for 4 p.m. local time. The All England Club confirmed that the session was canceled. Sinner hurt his elbow in a fall in the opening game Monday night and lost the first two sets before Dimitrov retired at 2-all in the third set. The 23-year-old Italian said afterward that he had planned to have an MRI on Tuesday to see if there's something serious.

Wimbledon 2025: Sabalenka gets past No. 104 Siegemund in three-set epic

Aryna Sabalenka trailed by a set, then twice was down a break in the third before grabbing the last three games to reach the Wimbledon semifinals by overcoming 104th-ranked Laura Siegemund 4-6, 6-2, 6-4 at Centre Court on Tuesday. She pushed me so much, said Sabalenka, No. 1 since last October. After the first set, I was just looking at my box, thinking, Guys, I mean, book the tickets. I think we're about to leave this beautiful city, country, place.' Sabalenka never has been to a title match at the All England Club, the only Grand Slam tournament where that's the case. She won the Australian Open twice and the U.S. Open once, and was the runner-up at this year's Australian Open ( losing to Madison Keys ) and French Open ( losing to Coco Gauff ). The 27-year-old Belarusian lost in the semifinals at Wimbledon in 2021 and 2023. On Thursday, she gets a third chance in that round. Sabalenka will meet either No. 13 seed Amanda Anisimova or 50th-ranked Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, the playe
