Wimbledon final showdown: Sinner vs Zverev with tactical preview and player routines
Toni Nadal, former coach of Rafael Nadal, analysed the upcoming Wimbledon final between Italy's Jannik Sinner and Germany's Alexander Zverev. Nadal highlighted Zverev's recent confidence after winning Roland Garros and advised him to break Sinner’s rhythm, play aggressively and avoid long rallies, noting Zverev’s strong backhand and serve but a less consistent forehand.
Sinner, who leads their head‑to‑head nine‑to‑two, is described as the mentally strongest player on tour and has been praised for his improved serve. He said he feels relaxed, watches the England‑Norway football match and has no superstitions about the Grand Slam final.
Zverev, whose father serves as his coach and whose brother acts as assistant, follows a routine of keeping his phone off during Grand Slams. He also mentioned his grandmother’s visa issues and the possibility of German chancellor assistance for her stay.
