Vagnozzi doesn't get wet: "The Sinner-Alcaraz matches are 50-50"

There are many doubts surrounding Jannik Sinner regarding the Wimbledon 2025 final facing Carlos Alcaraz. Not long ago, the Italian and the Spanish faced off in the Paris final, a match that has remained in the memory of fans.

Before that grand final begins, Simone Vagnozzi, a member of Jannik's team, has commented on the situation. The Italian coach gave his forecast on what to expect from the match, as well as analyzing the details that could play a significant role in that upcoming showdown.

"At this stage, the Sinner-Alcaraz matches are 50-50. We saw in Paris how it was decided really on a few points, and it will be the same. Here, playing styles change a bit because there is more emphasis on defense, serving matters more, mobility is worse. I still think the match will be 50-50. We will see who will be able to seize the opportunity and who will be in better form that day," Simone told Ubitennis.

A matter of feelings

"As I said after Paris, I don't think Jannik came out of the final diminished. It was Alcaraz's favorite surface, and he played it very well, coming very close to victory. Of course, you don't leave the court happy, but you have to be content with the level you have reached, even on a surface like clay, which is not one of Jannik's favorites.

When it's hot, the ball bounces a little higher than when it's humid. But I think Jannik has played very good matches when it's humid, and when it's very hot, he has performed well too. I don't think it's the conditions that make the difference, but how they step onto the court, how they feel, especially at the beginning of the match, especially here on grass. On clay, you have more chances to change the game, while on grass, the variations are less."

Elbow issues

"We hope his game will vary a lot. Dimitrov played a very good match, but Jannik was somewhat affected by the fall, so he served slower and poorly and also played slower with his forehand. So it was easier to vary the game, it always depends on both sides. If you serve slower, it will be easier for Alcaraz to vary the game. Serving will matter a lot, and we have seen how well Alcaraz serves, especially in the last matches. We shall see, but I believe it will still be a beautiful final.

The elbow, we are managing it, but every day is better. When you're on the court, during the match, it's not even easy to understand what's happening to you. Then he had an MRI and various tests; he's managing it well and focuses on what he can do."
