Monday Match Analysis

On Monday Match Analysis, Gill Gross is joined by Giri Nathan to discuss the upcoming men's semifinals at Wimbledon 2025: Jannik Sinner vs. Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz vs. Taylor Fritz. We'll discuss what grass court looks like in the modern game, if this is Djokovic's last realistic chance to win his 25th major, how Sinner is an stylistic evolution of Djokovic, what we learned from their Roland Garros clash and why their head-to-head has recently turned towards the Italian. Then, we'll take on the recent dominance of Alcaraz over Sinner, Alcaraz's love affair with Wimbledon, and what Fritz might need to do in order to pull off the shocker.
