July 12, 2025: Wimbledon Today – There’s no doubt about his health now: Jannik Sinner has dismissed any doubts surrounding his right elbow ahead of Sunday’s highly anticipated Wimbledon final against Carlos Alcaraz, confirming he is “ready to go.”
From Concern to Confidence
Sinner battled elbow concerns after slipping and landing heavily on it during his fourth-round match against Grigor Dimitrov, which sparked speculation about his fitness for the tournament’s later stages. He managed to push through, advancing through a tough quarterfinal against Ben Shelton while wearing an elbow sleeve.
By the time he faced Novak Djokovic in the semifinal, the world No. 1 was all business. He declared, “No issue for Sunday,” and reported feeling good even during the warm-up — a far cry from earlier concerns.
Dominates Djokovic on Centre Court
Sinner backed up his confidence with a commanding straight-sets performance (6‑3, 6‑3, 6‑4) over Novak Djokovic — one of the most clinical matches of his career. The victory not only marked his first semifinal win over Djokovic at Wimbledon, but also secured his place in the prestigious all-four-Grand-Slam finals club — following his appearance at the French Open.
A Blockbuster Rematch Awaits
The stage is set for a blockbuster rematch against Carlos Alcaraz, who is aiming for his third consecutive Wimbledon title. This final marks the third time the world No. 1 and No. 2 have met in a Grand Slam final this season — a historical feat not seen since the Open Era began.
Why It Matters
Fitness boost: Sinner’s strong health update is a major psychological edge heading into Sunday.
Historic milestone: Reaching the final of all four majors places Sinner among legends like Federer, Nadal, and Djokovic.
Rivalry on display: With Alcaraz seeking a three-peat and Sinner chasing redemption from Roland‑Garros, this rivalry is shaping up to be a defining one in modern tennis.
What to Watch This Weekend
- Will Sinner sustain his elbow resilience under Alcaraz’s relentless power and intensity?
- Can Alcaraz maintain his winning streak with his third straight Wimbledon victory on the line?
- Expect fireworks — strategy, stamina, and mental toughness will all be on full display.
Prepare for a generational showdown — Sunday at Centre Court is set to be a must-watch.
