Jannik Sinner defends Wimbledon crown, beats Alexander Zverev

World‑number‑one Jannik Sinner retained his Wimbledon men’s singles title, defeating Germany’s Alexander Zverev in a four‑set final (6‑7 (7‑9), 7‑6 (7‑2), 6‑3, 6‑4). After losing the opening tie‑break, Sinner rallied to win the next three sets, securing his fifth Grand Slam and becoming the tenth player in the Open Era to defend the Wimbledon title. The victory extended Sinner’s head‑to‑head dominance over Zverev to ten consecutive wins and 14 straight sets.

Zverev, the 2024 French Open champion, slipped and injured his knee midway through the third set but continued without treatment, later noting a slight swelling. Despite the injury, he lifted his game with a strong forehand and reached a career‑high world No. 2 in the ATP rankings. The final was attended by members of the British royal family, with Prince William, Kate Middleton and their children watching from the Royal Box.
