LONDON — It’s fitting that the Wimbledon final between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner on Sunday represents the first time the same two men meet for that title right after playing for the French Open trophy since a couple of guys named Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal did so every year from 2006-2008.

Jannik Sinner defeated Novak Djokovic and reached the Wimbledon final — a result that also adds to the legacy of Roger Federer.

You want to play. You’re determined. But then the body doesn’t want to listen,” the Serb said after Friday's Wimbledon semifinal loss to Jannik Sinner.

Roger Federer has made a return to Wimbledon — but to watch, not play, tennis. The eight-time champion at the All England Club sat in the Royal Box during his former rival Novak Djokovic's four-set victory over Alex de Minaur in the fourth round Monday.
