Novak Djokovic recently shared his thoughts on who will likely win the 2025 Wimbledon men\u2019s final following his semifinal exit.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s title match at the Championships pits the world\u2019s top two players. It will be a French Open final rematch between World No. 1 Jannik Sinner and World No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Over a month ago, Alcaraz saved three match points in Paris to snatch the title from Sinner\u2019s grasp. It was the Spaniard\u2019s fifth successive win in a row in the head-to-head, which he now leads 8-4. He also leads the Grand Slam title count with five, while Sinner is stuck at three.<\/p>\n

But despite his recent dominance, Alcaraz is only a “slight favorite,” according to the 24-time Grand Slam champion. Speaking to reporters<\/a> after his straight-sets loss to Sinner in the semifinals, Djokovic gave second seed Alcaraz the edge while equally acknowledging Sinner\u2019s ball-striking superiority after his sixth loss against the Italian.<\/p>\n

Djokovic said, “I think I will give a slight edge to Carlos as a favorite because of the two titles he\u2019s won here and the way he is playing and the confidence he has right now. But it\u2019s just a\u00a0 slight advantage because Jannik is hitting the ball extremely well.”<\/p>\n

Djokovic believes the outcome will be close and expects it to go down to the wire, reminiscent of what the pair produced at this year\u2019s French Open.<\/p>\n

“I think it\u2019s going to be again a very close matchup like we had in Paris,” he added.<\/p>\n

Sinner is the first man after the Big Four to reach a final at all four Grand Slams. He is a three-time champion and will contest his first Wimbledon final. Alcaraz is the two-time defending champion, beating Djokovic in each of the last two Wimbledon editions. His last defeat at SW19 came against Sinner three years ago.<\/p>\n
