If Alcaraz defeats Sinner, he will join seven others who have won three consecutive Wimbledon titles. Here is a look at the Wimbledon three-peat club in the Open Era. Special mention to Billie Jean King, whose first two titles in her Wimbledon three-peat came before the Open Era.

Jannik Sinner has overwhelmed a not-fully-fit Novak Djokovic 6-3, 6-3, 6-4 in the Wimbledon semifinals to set up a showdown for the championship against Carlos Alcaraz.

Alcaraz had never lost a Grand Slam final before Sinner's Wimbledon triumph. It is a test of the short memory that defines elite athletes.
