Jannik Sinner defeated world No. 2 Alexander Zverev 6-7 (7), 7-6 (2), 6-3, 6-4 to win the Wimbledon men’s singles title on Sunday, marking his fifth Grand Slam victory and second consecutive Wimbledon crown. The final lasted three hours and 46 minutes, and Sinner sealed the win with a forehand winner before falling to the ground in relief.

Earlier in the tournament, Sinner survived a first‑round loss of a set to world No. 50 Miomir Kecmanovic, then beat Nuno Borges in straight sets after two tiebreaks in the second round. He advanced without dropping a set to the semifinals, where he defeated Novak Djokovic 6-4, 6-4, 6-4, facing only one break point, which he saved with an ace.

Sinner entered Wimbledon after a 30‑match win streak and a loss in the French Open second round, where heat‑induced cramps led to a 3-6, 2-6, 7-5, 6-1, 6-1 defeat. Coach Darren Cahill noted Sinner’s focused preparation and attitude throughout the event.

The victory restored Sinner to the ATP No. 1 ranking, a position he held before his French Open upset, and placed him ahead of rival Carlos Alcaraz, who remains sidelined with a wrist injury.
