Jannik Sinner faces Alexander Zverev in Wimbledon 2026 final

World No. 1 Jannik Sinner entered the Wimbledon men’s singles final as the defending champion, aiming to become only the 10th man in the Open Era to retain the title. He will meet world No. 2 Alexander Zverev, who captured his first Grand Slam at the French Open and is contesting his inaugural Wimbledon final. The two have met 14 times, with Sinner leading 10‑4 and winning the last nine meetings. The match is scheduled for Sunday 12 July 2026 on Centre Court, London, with kickoff times of 16:00 BST (17:00 local) and will be broadcast on BBC, Sky Sport, TV8, Eurosport and various streaming platforms worldwide. Sinner currently holds 12 750 ATP points; a victory would raise him to 13 450, widening his lead over Zverev, who stands at 8 480 points and would move to 9 180 with a win. Prize‑money calculations show Sinner has earned €3.4 million so far and would reach €4.8 million as champion. In pre‑match comments, Sinner said Zverev “is a tough player…much more confident after Paris,” while Zverev noted that winning a major “gives you the feeling you can do it again.” The final will decide whether Sinner defends his crown or Zverev becomes the first player in the Open Era to win consecutive major titles.
