2025 Wimbledon: Alcaraz to Face Sinner in Men's Final
On Friday, the final of 2025 Wimbledon men's title was officially set as World No. 1 Jannik Sinner and No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz both won their semifinals.
Sinner defeated Djokovic in straight sets 6-3, 6-3, 6-4. It seemed that Djokovic suffered an injury during the game.
After the match, Djokovic said: 'I don't think it's bad fortune. It's just age," Djokovic said Friday. "The wear and tear of the body. As much as I'm taking care of it, the reality hits me right now the last year and a half like never before, to be honest."
He added: "It's tough for me to accept that because I feel like when I'm fresh and fit, I can still play very good tennis. I've proven that this year. Playing best of five, particularly this year, has been a real struggle for me physically. The longer the tournament goes, the worse the condition gets. I reached the semis of every slam this year. I have to play Sinner or [Carlos] Alcaraz. These guys are fit, young, sharp."
He concluded: "And I feel like I'm going into the match with the tank half empty. It's just not possible to win the match like that. It is what it is. It's one of those things you just have to accept and embrace in some way, deal with reality the way it is and try to make the most out of it."
In the earlier semifinal, the defending champion Alcaraz knocked Fritz off 6-4, 5-7, 6-3, 7-6(6).
Alcaraz has won the latest two editions of Wimbledon, and he is looking for a third consecutive Wimbledon title.
The final will take place on Sunday.

Zamalek sign veteran goalkeeper El-Mahdi Soliman on two-year deal - Egyptian Football
Egyptian Premier League side Zamalek have signed veteran goalkeeper El-Mahdi Soliman on a free transfer, the club announced on Sunday. The 38-year-old joins on a two-year deal after leaving Ittihad of Alexandria. Soliman brings extensive experience, having started his career at ENPPI before going on to play for Arab Contractors, Petrojet, Ghazl El-Mahalla, Smouha, Pyramids FC and Ittihad. He was called up to the Egypt national team several times but never made a senior appearance. Soliman joins goalkeepers Mohamed Awad and Mohamed Sobhi at the club, though Sobhi is reportedly expected to depart this summer. He becomes Zamalek's first signing of the summer, with the Cairo giants also linked with several other potential arrivals. Zamalek are looking to revamp their squad following a disappointing campaign in which they finished third in the league and exited the CAF Confederation Cup in the quarter-finals, failing to defend their title. Last month, the club appointed Belgian coach Yannick Ferrera as their new head coach, replacing interim manager Ayman El-Ramady, who had guided the team in the Egypt Cup.

Alcaraz to Face Sinner in 2025 Wimbledon Men's Final
Rana Atef Today, Spanish star Carlos Alcaraz, two-time defending Wimbledon champion and current world No. 2, is gearing up for a fiery showdown against Italian world No. 1 Jannik Sinner in the final of the tournament. Both have firmly established themselves on the global stage, snatching the spotlight from tennis's 'legendary trio': Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Novak Djokovic, who dominated the sport for decades. Djokovic, the last remaining member of the trio at 38 years old, exited the tournament in the semifinals after a straight-sets loss to Sinner, who is seen by many as a successor to the Serbian star's style and dominance. On the other hand, Alcaraz had to battle for over three hours to overcome American fifth seed Taylor Fritz, securing a spot in a Grand Slam final for the sixth time in his career and the third consecutive time on Wimbledon's grass courts. The two young stars have recently taken control of the Grand Slam scene, sharing the last six titles between them. Sunday's final will be decisive in determining who claims the seventh. read more Japan Stun Spain 2-1 to Qualify for World Cup Last 16 World Cup 2022: Get to Know Confirmed Line-ups of Japan and Spain Group E Decider Saudi Arabia Bid Farewell to World Cup after 2-1 Loss to Mexico Tunisia Achieve Historic Win over France but Fail to Qualify Tunisia to Clash against France in World Cup Sports Get to Know Squad of Group D Teams in World Cup Sports Al Ahly Gift EGP 70,000 to Players After Claiming Egyptian Super Cup Title Sports Bencharki Hits First 2 Goals with Al Jazira Since Leaving Zamalek Sports Arsenal Possible Line-up for Nottingham Forest News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Arts & Culture Hawass Foundation Launches 1st Course to Teach Ancient Egyptian Language Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream
