Alcaraz vs Sinner, Wimbledon Final Live Streaming: Head-to-head record, where to watch action today?
Alcaraz vs Sinner Wimbledon Men's Singles Final 2025 Match Live Streaming: Generational superstars, Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz, will add a fresh chapter to their expanding rivalry at the core of the current men's tennis circuit as the World No. 1 and No. 2 will go up against one another in a second successive Grand Slam Final at the Wimbledon championships on Sunday evening. Fresh from his scintillating comeback-from-the-brink French Open title victory over Sinner, Alcaraz may just be the overwhelming favourite to clinch a third successive Wimbledon title, having beaten seven-time champ Novak Djokovic twice in the summit clash in back-to-back years in 2023 and 2024. However, making his first final at SW19, top seed Sinner also brings his own share of history into the contest. The 23-year-old Italian became the first man since the revered Big 4 – Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Djokovic and Andy Murray – to reach the finals at all Grand Slams. What they said Alcaraz: 'The things we are doing right now is great for tennis. We just fight to engage more people to watch. Sharing the big tournaments with Jannik, playing in finals and in final rounds, it's great.' 'I expect to be on the limit, to be on the line. It's going to be a great day, a great final. I'm excited about it. I just hope not to be five hours and a half on court again.' We watched in awe in Paris. Now, the privilege is ours.#Wimbledon — Wimbledon (@Wimbledon) July 13, 2025 Sinner: 'Six grand slams are one and a half years. It's not that big yet. This is the second consecutive grand slam we are in the final. I believe it's good for the sport. The more rivalries we have from now on, the better it is, because people want to see young players going against each other. 'It's a different match. He (Alcaraz) is the favourite. He won here two times in a row. It's very tough to beat him on grass, but I like these challenges. I like to go head-to-head, trying to see what I can do and what I can reach.'

Shoaib crowned Federal Cup champion
The curtains fell on the 37th OGDCL Federal Cup National Ranking Tennis Championships with a spectacular and action-packed final day at the PTF-SDA Tennis Complex, Islamabad. The prestigious championship, now in its 37th edition, is organized annually by the Islamabad Tennis Association. This year's tournament featured over 120 players competing across six categories: Men's Singles & Doubles, Ladies' Singles, Boys' U18 Singles, Boys' U14 Singles, and Girls' U12 Singles. A total of PKR 850,000 was distributed among winners and runners-up as prize money and travel allowances. Due to a thunderstorm and rain in the capital city, the Men's Singles Final — originally scheduled for 4:00 pm — started later than planned. However, the delay did not dampen the intensity or quality of tennis that followed. In a thrilling showdown, 23-year-old top seed Muhammad Shoaib of PAF successfully defended his title against Muzammil Murtaza 7-6(6), 2-6, 6-4 in an exhilarating three-set battle that lasted over 2 hours and 58 minutes. Muzammil started strong, breaking Shoaib early and taking a 3-0 lead but Shoaib quickly adjusted his strategy, breaking back in the fifth game and forcing a tiebreak after both players held serve. In the tiebreak, Shoaib's early mini-break and consistent pressure earned him a hard-fought 8-6 win in the first set. Muzammil bounced back with renewed focus in the second set, breaking Shoaib's serve in the fourth and sixth games to level the match with a 6-2 win. In the deciding set, both players showcased exceptional baseline rallies and strategic cross-court play, reaching 4-4. Shoaib then delivered a clinical performance, breaking Muzammil's serve in the ninth game with powerful down-the-line winners. He maintained his composure while serving for the match, forcing unforced errors from his opponent and sealing the final set 6-4. The enthralling final was officiated by ITF White Badge Umpire Husnain Mehmood. Earlier in the day, in the Junior 18 & Under Singles Final, Muhammad Salar emerged as the champion, defeating promising Islamabad youngster M. Hazik Aasim in a competitive straight-sets match. Muhammad Shafik, Director Commercial - Air Blue, Majid Bashir, President Islamabad Tennis Association, and the President Pakistan Tennis Federation Aisam-ul-Haq Qureshi attended as guests of honor.
