Sinner and Zverev set for Wimbledon final as both now hold Grand Slam titles
Jannik Sinner and Alexander Zverev will meet in Sunday’s Wimbledon men’s final, each having recently won a major, with both players expressing confidence ahead of the match.
Jannik Sinner and Alexander Zverev will contest the Wimbledon men’s final on Sunday, each entering the match as a Grand Slam champion after Sinner’s victory over Novak Djokovic in the semifinals and Zverev’s French Open triumph last month. The German, 29, reached the final by defeating British wildcard Arthur Féry in straight sets, while the 24-year-old Italian posted a 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 win over Djokovic.
"I think, yes, one thing, for sure, once you win a major you know how to do it and you feel like you can do it again. You have this feeling inside of you," Zverev said after his semifinal.
Zverev, now world No. 3, highlighted improvements in his game and a more aggressive approach that produced 22 forehand winners in his semifinal. He noted the advantage of a 4 p.m. start on a hot day, expecting the fast grass to suit his serve, which he has won 95 percent of his service games throughout the tournament.
"I stay focused. I stay hungry. I want more. I want to continue playing at the best level and continue winning," Zverev added.
Sinner, who leads their head-to-head record 10-4, emphasized that his recent success has come against top opponents, including Djokovic and Alcaraz. He praised his own serving consistency, having held 94 percent of service games, and noted a higher return rate on first serves compared with Zverev.
"Whatever happened in the past between me and him, it happened. In between, he won a Grand Slam in Paris, which gave him a lot of confidence," Sinner said.
Both players will rely on their dominant serves and aggressive baseline play, with the fast, sun-baked grass expected to favor strong serving. The outcome will hinge on who can impose their game early and maintain composure under the pressure of a Grand Slam final.
