Carlos Alcaraz against Jannik Sinner is the new Roger Federer versus Rafael Nadal, writes MATTHEW LAMBWELL
Carlos or Jannik? The Spanish showman or the Italian ice man? It is time to pick your side, because the next great rivalry in tennis is upon us. For four years Alcaraz and Sinner have duelled, but it was not until last month at the French Open that they met in a Grand Slam final. The result was extraordinary — five-and-a-half hours in which the sport was played at a level never before seen. If that was the birth of the rivalry, then today comes its baptism here at the cathedral of tennis. Alcaraz, 22, is the favourite, having won the last two titles here and five matches in a row against 23-year-old Sinner. But what that night in Paris told us is that when these two collide with their best tennis, there is not much to choose between them. The match will be decided by a point here and there. Sinner and Alcaraz are the second duo in the Open Era to contest the French Open and Wimbledon finals in the same year — Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer did so three times from 2006-08. Whoever wins, it will be the seventh Slam in a row these two have carved up between them. If one of them wins the US Open, as is very much expected, it will be the first time two men have won all the majors across two years since — you guessed it — Federer and Nadal in 2006 and 2007. The comparison is becoming impossible to escape. Sinner's unflappable, graceful exterior owes much to the example of Federer. He is Italian but from San Candido in the north, and in temperament more similar to his Swiss neighbours, just 100 miles to the west, than his more hot-blooded countrymen further towards Italy's boot. Alcaraz, of course, grew up idolising Nadal and plays with the same pulsating physicality. How desperately tennis needed these two to emerge. They are carrying the men's game into a new era — two warheads the sport can bring to the battle for eyeballs and attention. In looking ahead to the final, Alcaraz was happy to embrace that responsibility. 'The things we are doing right now are great for tennis,' he said. 'We are fighting to engage more people to watch tennis, fighting for tennis to be bigger. 'We are still really young, so I just hope to keep doing the right things for the next five or 10 years, just to bring our rivalry to the same table as those players.' Sinner, typically, was more wary of embracing the comparison to the giants of the past. 'You cannot compare what the Big Three did for 15-plus years,' said the No 1 seed. 'Of course, we find ourselves again in this position, the second consecutive Grand Slam that we are in the final. I believe it's good for the sport. If we can make that happen for the next three, four years, then people can think about it.' So, who is going to win? Both players have had their struggles this fortnight. Sinner was two sets down to Grigor Dimitrov before a tear of the Bulgarian's pectoral muscle ushered him through. It was an enormous stroke of fortune. Alcaraz was taken to five sets by Fabio Fognini in the opening round and has dropped three more sets since then. But in the quarter-finals and semis these two have looked like something close to their best. Sinner comes out on top in almost all the stats — but then again he always does. He is the more consistent performer, whereas Alcaraz needs to face the best to play his best. It is revealing that the Spaniard slumped during the three months in which Sinner was serving an anti-doping ban. Of course, the spectre of the French Open final will loom over Centre Court. Alcaraz came back from two sets to love down in Paris and from 5-3, 40-0 down in the fourth set. Alcaraz can take huge confidence from that but so, too, can Sinner. He, of course, could easily have won and in mounting a comeback in that fifth set he answered to some extent the questions about his physicality — in his career Sinner has lost all seven of the matches which have lasted longer than three hours and 50 minutes. 'I'm not thinking I have an advantage mentally because of that match,' said Alcaraz. 'I expect Sunday to be at the limit, on the line.

Iga Swiatek hits out at media after winning first Wimbledon title: ‘Leave me alone'
New Wimbledon champion Iga Swiatek has hit out at the media's coverage of her this season, saying: 'Leave me alone.' Swiatek swept aside America's Amanda Anisimova 6-0, 6-0 in only 57 minutes to win her first Wimbledon title and sixth grand slam in all, cementing her place as the best player of the current generation. But the Pole has come under scrutiny this season after a dip in form and a slide down the rankings, following the turmoil of her one-month ban from the sport last year. Swiatek had not won an event for 13 months before triumphing on Centre Court, and her decision to switch coach to Wim Fissette late last year was one that was questioned at the time. Asked whether she'd answered her critics, Swiatek replied: 'Honestly, things that we as public people and as athletes, we can really react to everything, and we've got to just focus on ourselves. Sometimes it's easier to do that, sometimes it's harder. 'And for sure, the past few months, how the media sometimes described me – and I've got to say, unfortunately, Polish media – how they treated me and my team, it wasn't really pleasant. So I hope they will just leave me alone and let me do my job, because obviously you can see that we know what we're doing, and I have the best people around me. 'I have already proved a lot. I know people want more and more, but it's my own process and my own life and my own career. So hopefully I'm gonna have the freedom from them as well to let me do my job.' Swiatek maintained her unblemished record in grand slam finals, making it six titles and becoming the first Polish player, male or female, to win a Wimbledon singles trophy. By adding the grass-court title to her four French Open crowns and one US Open trophy she has also now won slams on all the surfaces. She had never previously been beyond the Wimbledon quarter-finals, and she said: 'It's something that is just surreal. I feel like tennis keeps surprising me, and I keep surprising myself. 'I think the fact that it's on grass, for sure it makes it more special, I would say, and more unexpected. So it feels like the emotions are bigger because, at Roland Garros, I know I can play well, and I know I can show it every year. Here, I wasn't sure of that. I also needed to prove that to myself.' Anisimova's comeback has been one of the stories of the fortnight, with the former teenage prodigy having stepped away from tennis for eight months in 2023 for mental health reasons. She came into the final off the back of a semi-final victory over Aryna Sabalenka but from the start appeared paralysed by nerves. Anisimova's serve deserted her and there were many more errors than winners off the ground. The crowd, who had paid more than £300 each per ticket, willed the American to find a foothold in the contest but Swiatek was utterly ruthless. Another treat for the Pole was receiving the trophy from the Princess of Wales. 'On court she just congratulated (me),' said Swiatek. 'She told me some nice stuff about the performance. Later on, I don't remember really because I was too overwhelmed. 'I didn't want to do any faux pas. I wanted to behave well. Overall the process of getting the trophy from Her Royal Highness was something surreal. Since I'm a kid, honestly I'm a big fan of the Royal family. It was amazing.'

66-1 July Cup shock puts Neil Callan back at the top table and leaves trainer Richard Hughes in tears
One man was speechless, another was in tears and, in the middle of it all, was an unlikely leading lady who had reinforced racing's glorious unpredictability. We are used to super powers such as Godolphin and Coolmore dominating midsummer Group One events but, every so often, you get a result like the one No Half Measures provided in the July Cup. Sent off at 66-1, there weren't many cheers as she crossed the line to become the biggest priced winner of a race first run in 1876, but this was a superb story. For Neil Callan, the jockey who was wide-eyed in astonishment, it was an unexpected return to the top table. The 47-year-old had only partnered four winners since May 24 and his four rides at Royal Ascot last month were on horses priced 125-1, 100-1, 80-1 and 50-1 — two finished stone last. As for Richard Hughes, it was an overdue first Group One triumph as a trainer. He was once a brilliant jockey but, more than anything, he is a brilliant horseman and getting this mare, who cost £32,000, to win £372,584, emphasised his skills. No Half Measures has been consistent for owner Richard Gallagher, but had never given an indication she would blossom in such style. In these sprints, however, there is no such thing as a hopeless task and this time the cards fell perfectly for the four-year-old. 'Neil is tough as hell and very professional,' said Hughes. 'I think the last ride I gave him was when he won the Northumberland Plate for me (in 2023)! 'I was playing golf with Mick Fitzgerald, and said to him, 'Who am I going to get?' and he said, 'What about Callan?'. I said, 'Perfect!'' It was better than perfect. Callan (below) has had his skirmishes with authorities down the years but he knows how to ride and he timed everything to perfection, holding off the challenge of Big Mojo (22-1) and Run To Freedom (40-1). Notable Speech, the 2-1 favourite, never looked like playing a hand in the finish. 'The last couple of years, I thought I was a bit buried,' said Callan. 'I had a couple of big Group One winners at Royal Ascot in 2023 but last year and this has been a struggle. You are just waiting for that one good horse. 'Hughesy messaged me a few days ago and I actually thought he had messaged the wrong person! 'He said to me, 'Do you want to ride in a Group One?' and I just said to him, 'Absolutely! I'd love to'. Richard told me she would be 50-1 or 66-1 but that she was genuine and she would run her race. 'I felt she was running her race all the way and then I hit the front. Wow! It all felt surreal. You just can't beat Group Ones. They are just top, top!' You could see what it meant to Hughes, too. 'It's a hard game,' he said, as he began to well up. 'I wasn't Champion Jockey overnight and these things take time. There were a lot of dark days when I started and it was only thanks to my wife Lizzie's support that we kept going. This is just brilliant.'
