Ahead of Carlos Alcaraz's battle with Jannik Sinner in the Wimbledon 2025 men's singles final, Roger Federer has made his prediction about the winner.
Alcaraz, 22, a Spanish world No. 2 who has won the trophy the past two years, is undoubtedly the stronger favorite for Sunday's matchup.
However, 23-year-old Italian world No. 1 Sinner is undoubtedly unbeatable after displaying some of his finest tennis at this year's Championships, including a resounding victory against Novak Djokovic in Friday's semi-finals.
After defeating Sinner in the French Open final earlier this summer, Alcaraz is aiming to win a sixth Grand Slam championship and finish the Channel Slam for the second year in a row.
In an attempt to get revenge for that thrilling five-set Roland-Garros match and win his fourth major championship, Sinner, who was suspended for three months earlier this year, has advanced to the Wimbledon final for the first time.
