Jannik Sinner Defends Wimbledon Title, Defeats Alexander Zverev
World No. 1 Jannik Sinner retained his Wimbledon men’s singles crown, defeating French Open champion Alexander Zverev 6‑7 (7‑9), 7‑6 (7‑2), 6‑3, 6‑4 in a four‑set final lasting just under four hours. The victory gave Sinner his fifth Grand Slam title, his second consecutive Wimbledon triumph, and his 100th match win at major tournaments. Zverev, who entered the final after a breakthrough French Open victory, slipped early in the third set, injuring his knee but continued play, later noting the swelling was minor. After the loss, Zverev said he believes he can win a major trophy for the first time. The win also moves Zverev up to world No. 2 in the ATP rankings. Sinner praised his team and said, “I’m giving my life to tennis,” while highlighting the physical and mental effort required to defend the title. The match marked the first Wimbledon final since 1995 featuring a German male finalist and reinforced Sinner’s status among the era’s elite players.
