Overview
- Jannik Sinner defeated Alexander Zverev 6-7(7), 7-6(2), 6-3, 6-4 to retain the Wimbledon men’s singles crown on Sunday, earning his second straight Wimbledon title and his fifth Grand Slam.
- The victory keeps Sinner at ATP world No. 1 and leaves Zverev as runner-up, with the German rising to No. 2 after a career-best season capped by his Roland Garros title.
- Commentators and Sinner’s coaches praised his increased tactical variety at Wimbledon — more slices, lobs and drop shots — which helped him neutralise Zverev’s power in big moments.
- Carlos Alcaraz remains sidelined by a wrist injury but multiple reports say the wrist is now ‘completely healed’ and that he is targeting a return at the Cincinnati Open, a report that is not yet confirmed by his team.
- The result reshapes the run-up to the US Open by making Sinner the firm favourite in current form, with the North American hard-court swing and any verified update on Alcaraz’s fitness set to recalibrate who is favoured in New York.
