Roger Federer has named who thinks will win Wimbledon 2025 as the likes of Carlos Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic fight it out.
Spanish superstar Alcaraz, 22, arguably remains the biggest favourite, having clinched the men’s singles trophy for the last two years in a row.
Sinner, 23, is also among the main contenders with the world No.1 and top seed playing some of his best tennis at this year’s Championships.
Djokovic, 38, a 24-time Grand Slam winner, cannot be discounted either given his experience and history of success at the All England Club.
Swiss tennis legend Federer is adamant that one of those three men will land the title – and has revealed his ‘slight favourite’ to come out on top.
Federer took part in a Rolex event in London on Friday which featured a Q&A session with an audience.
Federer tips Alcaraz for Wimbledon glory
According to Women’s Wear Daily, Federer was asked about who he thought would win the Wimbledon men’s singles title and said that Alcaraz was ‘slightly favoured’ over Sinner and Djokovic.
Meanwhile, in the women’s singles, Federer believes either Aryna Sabalenka – the world No.1 – or defending champion Barbora Krejčíková will come out on top.
Alcaraz fires warning to Sinner and Djokovic
Alcaraz booked his spot in the fourth round on Friday with a 6-1 3-6 6-3 6-4 victory over unseeded German opponent Jan-Lennard Struff.
Sinner joined him in the last 16 on Saturday with a 6-1 6-3 6-1 win over Spanish world No.52 Pedro Martinez while Djokovic plays his third-round match against fellow Serbian Miomir Kecmanovic later today.
Speaking after his win over Struff, Alcaraz fired a warning to his Wimbledon title rivals.
Quizzed about winning 21 matches in a row and if he was playing the best tennis of his career, Alcaraz said: ‘Yeah, I think so.
‘It wasn’t the best tennis the whole 21 matches that I’ve won. But I think I’ve kept myself really, really calm in the tough moments in those 21 matches that I won in a row.
‘I think I’ve played really good tennis lately. I’m really high on confidence right now. I’m really happy. During those matches I’ve saved myself in some really difficult moments.’
Djokovic: I have a very good chance
Djokovic, speaking after his second-round win over British star Dan Evans, said: ‘If I play like today, I feel like I have a very good chance against anybody, really, on the Centre Court of Wimbledon, a place where I maybe feel the most comfortable on any court.
‘Rod Laver Arena and Wimbledon Centre Court are the two courts where I’ve done so well throughout my career. I felt great physically, mentally sharp.
‘Game-wise, I’m playing as well as I can, really, on grass. So hopefully I can keep it up. I met Gael Monfils in the locker room. He was waiting for his match. He kind of smiled at me and said, ‘Good day in the office’ – at this age, he said, We need those types of days.
‘Of course, it’s great. You want to keep on playing this way. It can be only one day, one match. Tomorrow or in two days can be a different story. I don’t know.
‘I’m trying to be cautious and keep it going. But yeah, aspirations and objectives are very high to go all the way.’
