A new adventure begins for Carlos Alcaraz in this season, but it's inevitable to overlook his success at Roland Garros and the potential consequences it may have. With Wimbledon 2025 on the horizon, many dream of witnessing a new showdown against Jannik Sinner, and the Spanish player talked about it at the ATP 500 Queen's 2025.

An intense month full of emotions is approaching in the tennis world, with Carlos Alcaraz being one of the expected main characters. The player from Murcia will defend his title at Wimbledon 2025 and seek to capitalize on the upward trend following his feat in Paris against Jannik Sinner. His first encounter with the grass this year will be at ATP 500 Queen's 2025, where he discussed the possible repercussions of his victory over his close rival, as reported by Ubitennis.

"I haven't spoken to Jannik after the match, but I can imagine what happened. It was an incredible experience, really. We are friends, but not so close to chat constantly, although I know how much it would hurt him to lose in Paris. The best thing about tennis is that it never stops and gives you the opportunity to redeem yourself immediately. You don't have time to dwell too much on what happened. I am convinced that Sinner will come back with a strength and motivation never seen before in him," stated the Spanish player.

His dominance at Wimbledon, with two titles, could be challenged in this edition if Jannik Sinner manages to show his best level. "I don't consider my victory to give me a mental advantage over him, but I foresee him returning stronger than ever. I know he is excited about the idea of winning Wimbledon and that he can play very well on this surface, so he will be a strong contender to become the champion in London," emphasized Carlos Alcaraz, who was defeated by the Italian the only time they met at the London Grand Slam, in the 2022 Wimbledon round of 16.

But the world number 1 will not be the only major rival for Carlos Alcaraz in the battle for the title at Wimbledon 2025. As he pointed out, there is a list of players he believes can aim for the top at the All England Lawn Tennis Club. "There are many players, besides Djokovic. For example, Zverev is always there, and then there are young talents like Rune or Fils, for instance. The beauty of today's tennis is that there are many players with the necessary potential to achieve great successes," stated the Spanish player.
