What tennis racket is Carlos Alcaraz using at Wimbledon 2025? All you need to know

Two-time defending champion Carlos Alcaraz is one step away from mounting another successful title defense at Wimbledon. He's through to the final of this year's edition, where he's up against World No. 1 Jannik Sinner. He beat the Italian after saving three championship points in a memorable French Open final a month ago to successfully defend his title.

Alcaraz's all-court game is aided by his Babolat tennis racket. He's currently using the Babolat Pure Aero 98. He has used this model since the 2022 US Open, his maiden Major title. This version of the racket is great for players who love to attack using spin and precision. The 98 sq. inch frame with a thinner beam and 16x20 string pattern provides more stability.

The aerodynamic frame also increases head speed. Flax fibers are added to the racket head for better shock absorption. Alcaraz has slightly modified the racket to improve his serve, starting this year. He plays with an added five grams of weight, which has yielded positive results for his serve.

Carlos Alcaraz will now aim to showcase his mastery at Wimbledon once again and join the likes of Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic by winning three straight titles. However, Jannik Sinner won't be an easy player to beat, as evident from their thrilling battle at the French Open.

Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner will renew their rivalry at Wimbledon 2025. This will be their 13th career meeting, and their second consecutive encounter in a Major final after last month's French Open. The Spaniard leads the head-to-head 8-4 and won their last five matches.

However, Sinner won the pair's only match on grass at Wimbledon 2022 in four sets. That was also the last time Alaraz lost a match at SW19. He won his first title here in 2023 and successfully defended it a year later. If the World No. 1 defeats the defending champion, it would only be his third loss at the venue.

Alcaraz is the favorite to win yet again, considering his 24-match winning streak. His unbeaten run also includes two wins over Sinner in title rounds. Aside from the aforementioned French Open showdown, he beat his rival in the final of the Italian Open. The tournament marked the start of his current winning streak, the longest of his career so far.
