LONDON – World No. 1 Jannik Sinner successfully defended his Wimbledon title after defeating Germany’s Alexander Zverev in a thrilling four-set men’s singles final at the All England Club.

The Italian star recovered from losing the opening set to secure a 6-7 (7-9), 7-6 (7-2), 6-3, 6-4 victory, claiming his second consecutive Wimbledon championship and further cementing his position at the top of men’s tennis.

The final produced high-quality tennis, with Sinner displaying remarkable composure after dropping a closely contested first-set tie-break. He responded by winning the next three sets to lift the prestigious trophy once again on Centre Court.

The victory also extended Sinner’s dominance over Zverev. The Italian has now won the pair’s last ten meetings and leads their overall head-to-head record 11-4.

Sinner entered the tournament as one of the leading favourites after two-time Wimbledon champion Carlos Alcaraz withdrew because of a wrist injury. Seven-time Wimbledon winner Novak Djokovic was also considered among the strongest title contenders.

The 24-year-old reached the final by defeating 39-year-old Djokovic in straight sets, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4, underlining his outstanding form throughout the tournament.

Having captured his maiden Wimbledon title in 2025 by defeating Carlos Alcaraz, Sinner has now successfully defended the championship, adding another Grand Slam trophy to his rapidly growing collection.

Zverev, meanwhile, advanced to his first Wimbledon final after overcoming British surprise package Arthur Fery in the semi-finals. Fery, ranked No. 114 in the world, had never progressed beyond the second round of a Grand Slam before his remarkable run at this year’s Championships.

With another Wimbledon title to his name, Jannik Sinner continues to strengthen his status as the dominant force in men’s tennis and one of the sport’s brightest stars.
