Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner are blazing their respective paths towards a mouth-watering 2025 Wimbledon final on July 13. And while the world's two best players may have to wait seven more days to meet on Centre Court, they appear to be keeping tabs on each other at the All England Club.
Well, one has definitely been eyeing the other after cameras caught Alcaraz getting a good look at his rival on the practice courts on Sunday. Hours before the Spaniard's fourth-round clash against Andrey Rublev, Wimbledon's official TikTok handle shared footage showing him monitoring Sinner as he was hitting forehands and backhands.
Alcaraz was walking through the grounds as he prepared to battle Rublev for a spot in the quarter-finals on Centre Court later in the day.
The 22-year-old is pursuing an unprecedented third consecutive Wimbledon crown after defeating seven-time champion Novak Djokovic in the last two finals.
He is also locked onto the sixth Grand Slam of his young career after lifting his fifth earlier this year at the French Open.
Alcaraz reigned supreme at Roland Garros in his first meeting with Sinner in a major final, which turned into a record-breaking affair.

His 4-6, 6-7(4-7), 6-4, 7-6(7-3), 7-6(10-2) victory, which lasted five hours and 29 minutes, was the longest French Open final in history and the second-longest in a Grand Slam.
It was also the first time in French Open history that a singles final was decided by a match tiebreaker, in which Alcaraz incredibly denied Sinner a fourth career major.
Alcaraz saved three championship points, the most in a men's major final in the Open Era, after battling back from two sets down, the first time he had done so in his professional career.
Sinner has looked dominant at Wimbledon so far as he embarks on his quest for vengeance, cruising past Luca Nardi, Aleksandar Vukic and Pedro Martinez.
The Italian has only lost 17 games on his way to the last 16, the fewest in the Open Era, surpassing Roger Federer, who dropped 19 at this stage in 2004.
Sinner is scheduled to face 19th seed Grigor Dimitrov on Monday, while Alcaraz will meet with home hero Cameron Norrie in the quarter-finals if he gets past Rublev.
