Carlos Alcaraz is facing Jannik Sinner in a highly-stakes Wimbledon 2025 men’s singles final. Tennis fans across the world are excited to witness the winner between the second-seeded defending champion Alcaraz and the world no. 1 Sinner.
Legendary players Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic, who together have claimed 15 Wimbledon titles have given their predictions, offering insights into why one player holds a slight edge.
Roger Federer’s prediction
Roger Federer, an eight-time Wimbledon champion, predicted Carlos Alcaraz has more chances. He stated that Alcaraz seemed “slightly favoured” over Sinner.
Novak Djokovic’s prediction
Novak Djokovic, a seven-time Wimbledon champion and a 2025 Wimbledon semifinalist, echoed Federer’s sentiments, highlighting the tight competition. He gave the reference of the epic French Open final earlier this year, where Alcaraz battled back from two sets down to defeat Sinner in a five-set classic.
“After the final, they played in Paris, I think the anticipation for this final is big, is amazing,” Djokovic said. He believes both players are “several levels above everyone right now. I think it's going to be, again, a very close matchup like we had in Paris.”
"Well, I think I will give a slight edge to Carlos as a favourite because of the two titles he has won here and the way he is playing and the confidence he has right now.
However, Djokovic didn’t count out Sinner, praising his powerful ball-striking. “But it's just a slight advantage because Jannik is hitting the ball extremely well,” he added.
