Jannik Sinner-Carlos Alcaraz Wimbledon final draws biggest ratings in 6 years as tennis' next generation takes over
If the ratings for the 2025 Wimbledon men's singles final are any judge, fans are starting to embrace tennis' newest generation. The final between Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz, which Sinner won 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4, drew an average of 2.9 million viewers on ESPN, the network announced Wednesday. The numbers reportedly peaked at 4.0 million viewers at the end of the match. On the women's side, Iga Swiatek's 6-0, 6-0 double-bageling of Amanda Anisimova in the final averaged only 1.3 million viewers, not a surprise given how non-competitive the match was. That men's viewership isn't just a 31% increase from last year's final between Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic. It's the best number the tournament has seen since the 2019 final between Djokovic and Roger Federer, the last time two members of the sport's previous big 3 squared off at Wimbledon. That 2019 match saw an average of 3.8 million viewers tuned in. Since then, Wimbledon has seen finals featuring Djokovic against lesser tournaments in 2021 and 2022 and Alcaraz beating Djokovic in 2022 and 2023. The tournament was not held in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Tennis needed Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz From the time Federer and Rafael Nadal began declining more than half a decade ago, tennis has been waiting for a new generation to truly take over after watching three guys win 45 of 59 Grand Slams from 2004 to 2024. Add in Andy Murray and it becomes 48 of 59. Some talented players have emerged, and even won a Slam in the cases of Daniil Medvedev and Dominic Thiem, but none of them stuck until the 23-year-old Sinner and 22-year-old Alcaraz. Together, the Italian and Spaniard have won every Grand Slam since Djokovic's most recent title at the 2023 US Open and are now entering seemingly every major tournament on a collision course with each other. It appeared the sport of tennis would be in maybe not a bad place, but a worse place when Djokovic, the previous generation's final standard-bearer, called it a career, which he has been hinting doing at recently. Now, there are two more players on pace for an all-time career, with plenty of tennis ahead of them.

Why Nathan Eovaldi is still getting $100K Rangers bonus — even after All-Star Game snub
Play like an almost All-Star, get paid like an All-Star. Despite not making the Midsummer Classic this year, Rangers pitcher Nathan Eovaldi was paid a $100,000 All-Star bonus in his contract, ESPN first reported Wednesday. That money was well deserved, at least based on his stats. Advertisement Rangers pitcher Nathan Eovaldi got a $100K All-Star bonus. AP Eovaldi has been one of the best arms in baseball this season, as the two-time All-Star has a 7-3 record with a 1.58 ERA and 94 strikeouts over 91 innings. Opposing hitters have struggled overall with a .194 average and .237 on-base percentage against the veteran righty. Advertisement The only thing that kept him down was that he missed an entire month because of a tricep injury, which has kept him out of qualifying for statistical categories. 'I was very surprised when [president of baseball operations Chris Young] called and told me that they would be paying me my All-Star bonus,' Eovaldi told The Dallas Morning News on Wednesday. 'I was very thankful and appreciative. Representing the Rangers at the All-Star Game is always a goal of mine that I set out to achieve at the beginning of the season. So I'm thankful that they felt like I should have been on the All-Star team.' Eovaldi, 35, is halfway through his 15th major league season as he continues his impressive career. Nathan Eovaldi reacts after a strikeout. Getty Images Advertisement The 2008 11th-round pick of the Dodgers joined the Rangers three seasons ago and has been a standout since, helping the team to its first-ever World Series title in 2023. He was a key contributor during the playoff run, going 5-0 with a 2.95 ERA. Now, though, the Rangers are 48-49 and are 3 1/2 games out of an American League wild-card spot. Eovaldi is set to begin his second half of the season against the Tigers on Sunday when he's slated to go up against AL All-Star starting pitcher Tarik Skubal.
