Jannik Sinner clinches second Wimbledon crown, tops ATP rankings and undergoes post‑title medical check

Italian world No. 1 Jannik Sinner successfully defended his Wimbledon title on 14 July 2026, beating Alexander Zverev 6‑7(7) 7‑6(2) 6‑3 6‑4. The victory made him the first Italian to retain the Wimbledon singles crown and placed him among a select group of men who have defended a Grand Slam in the professional era.

Following the triumph, Sinner visited the J Medical clinic in Turin for a routine health assessment. The examination found no injuries or concerns, confirming his physical condition ahead of the upcoming US‑Open season. At the same time, the ATP rankings show Sinner leading with 13 450 points, a margin of nearly 5 000 points over Alexander Zverev and over 5 200 points ahead of Carlos Alcaraz.

Separate analyses highlighted the broader impact of his success. Regional studies dubbed the “Effetto Sinner” ranked Puglia 16th and Sicily 18th among Italian regions for tennis activity, noting high numbers of active players in the south. A tax review explained that the £4.2 million Wimbledon prize is heavily reduced by UK taxes, leaving Sinner with roughly £2.3 million after deductions. He also took a brief vacation with his girlfriend Laila Hasanovic before resuming training for the North‑American hard‑court swing.
