Jannik Sinner defeats Alexander Zverev to retain Wimbledon title

Jannik Sinner secured his second straight Wimbledon men’s singles crown, overcoming Germany’s second seed Alexander Zverev in a four-set final on Centre Court. Sinner claimed the title with a 6-7 (7-9), 7-6 (7-2), 6-3, 6-4 victory that lasted three hours and 46 minutes, becoming the tenth player since 1968 to retain the Wimbledon men’s trophy.

The match featured two tie-breaks before Sinner pulled ahead in the third and fourth sets. He limited Zverev to a single break point and capitalised on key opportunities, while Zverev’s aggressive forehand strategy earned him the opening set but could not sustain the momentum.

"It has been an amazing final once again. It always takes two players," Sinner said after the win, adding that he was pleased with the level of play.

Zverev, who will move to second in the world rankings after the tournament, acknowledged the effort, joking, "Jannik, I don't really like you any more," and noted his belief that he could win the trophy in the future.

The victory comes after Sinner’s mixed results earlier in the season, including a semi-final loss at the Australian Open and an early exit at the French Open. He entered Wimbledon after a brief break from competition, returning in form to claim his fifth career Grand Slam title.
