Wimbledon Men's final results, Alcaraz vs Sinner: Live updates, scores and highlights

The stage is set and the No. 1 and No. 2 men’s tennis players in the world will battle for the Wimbledon title on Sunday. It’s a rematch of the Roland Garros final, which Carlos Alcaraz won over Jannik Sinner back in June. It was the second-straight French Open win for Alcaraz. Sunday’s final will be the 13th time the two have played against each other in what’s turning into a modern era rivalry. 

Alcaraz has the advantage, defeating Sinner in eight of the 12 clashes between the two. He’s also won the last five meetings. Sinner’s last win over Alcaraz was in the China Open in Beijing in 2023. The last time the two met at Wimbledon was in 2022 and Sinner defeated Alcaraz in the Round of 16.

To reach the final, Alcaraz has a relatively easy road, playing just one seeded match against Andrey Rublev, winning in four sets, including winning the final three. His other toughest match was in the first round against Fabio Fognini, where he needed all five sets to take down the Italian. Sinner, on the other hand, had a gauntlet, facing three seeded players. 

Sinner had to take down Novak Djokovic in the semifinal to reach the final. He beat him in straight sets. Sinner is looking for his fourth major title and first win at Wimbledon. Alcaraz is seeking his sixth title and looking to win his third-straight at Wimbledon.

Given this is Alcaraz's preferred surface, he undoubtedly has the edge heading into the match. However, Sinner shouldn't be underestimated, as he is the No. 1 seed and top-rated player on the tour as of this writing. We will update the live results once one of these titans wins the first set.

First set updates

Carlos Alcaraz was down four games to two against Sinner, but managed to win the last four games to take the first set in the men's wimbledon final. Such is what makes Alcaraz such a special player, especially on this surface – he can turn it on at any moment, seemingly out of nowhere. Sinner is a special player, but if he is to overcome the dominance of Alcaraz on grass, he cannot afford to drop sets he ought to win.

These two players are remarkably even, which let to some amazing points within the first set. Sinner refused to give ground, but ultimately Alcaraz was an unstoppable force he could not quite solve. The winner of the first set at Wimbledon – as is the case in any major – has a unique advantage. The pressure is mounting on the 23-year-old Sinner. How will he respond?

Second set update

Sinner responds in the best way possible, beating Alcaraz five games to four to take Set No. 2 in the Wimbledon Men's final. Sinner came out strong to start the second set, turning a 3-1 lead into a 5-3 lead before taking the set. This final is going to be as good as advertised.

This one will continue to go back and forth as the No. 1 and No. 2 men's players are knotted at one set apiece in the final. Will Sinner continue to challenge Alcaraz on his most dominant surface or will Alcaraz remind him why he's so good on grass. The two-time, defending Wimbledon champion is set to prove his dominance in the third set.

Third set update

Jannik Sinner is starting to pull away. After getting down the first set, Sinner has taking the lead, two sets to one, over Carlos Alcaraz. Alcaraz has won the last two Wimbledon finals and is looking to win his third. He's proved he's the upcoming king of the grass courts, but Sinner is threatening to end his run.

Sinner is now one set away from dethroning Alcaraz. After the third set was tied at four games apiece, Sinner managed to win the last two games and take the lead over Alcaraz. With the win, Sinner would win his fourth major title and his first Wimbledon championship. This is the first time he's reach the final at Wimbledon.

Fourth set updates

Jannik Sinner proved why he's the No. 1 Men's player. He wasn't threatened by Carlos Alcaraz coming in winning the last two Wimbledon champions. He didn't feel like an underdog, despite playing on a surface Alcaraz has dominated on. And he didn't shy away from the spotlight in his first appearance in the Wimbledon final, defeating Alcaraz in four sets. Sinner won 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4.

It's Sinner's first win at Wimbledon and he's the first Italian to win the single's championship. The win is also his fourth major title. He needs just the French Open to complete the career grand slam. It was a resounding and statement win over Alcaraz.

Last five Men's Wimbledon Champions

Much like the stretch from 2003 to 2010, only two players have dominated Wimbledon. Back then it was Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer, though Federer won six of the eight. Of the last five champions, Alcaraz has won the last two and Djokovic won the previous three. He also won in 2018. The 2020 Wimbledon was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

For Alcaraz, a win would solidify his dominance on the grass court. Winning three-straight and taking down the No. 1 player in Sinner in the process would certainly start the changing of the guard from the older core of players to the new era. 

If Sinner can halt Alcaraz's run at Wimbledon, it would ignite the rivalry between the two. This is the first time Sinner is playing in the final at Wimbledon. He previously reached the semifinal in 2023.
