Alcaraz prevailed on that occasion, battling back from two sets down to claim the spoils at Roland Garros. He is chasing a third successive Wimbledon title and will need to be at his very best to overcome the challenge posed by Sinner. The latter is desperate to avenge his defeat in Paris by denying Alcaraz another moment of glory.

Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner do it again on Sunday, this time at Centre Court, Wimbledon, still the only place in their sport worth talking about.

LONDON — 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.
