Overview
- Jannik Sinner defeated Alexander Zverev 7-6 (9-7), 6-7 (2-7), 6-3, 6-4 in the Wimbledon men's final on Sunday, July 12, to defend his title and claim his fifth Grand Slam.
- Zverev overextended his right knee in a third-set fall, described it as “a bit swollen,” said he can walk normally, and will have follow-up checks in the coming days.
- The result leaves Sinner as reigning champion and world No.1 while Zverev moves up to world No.2 in the ATP rankings on the next update.
- Former champion Michael Stich urged Zverev to rest after an intense six-week run that included his French Open win, warning that immediate attempts to chase No.1 this year are unlikely to succeed.
- The match extended Sinner's winning streak over Zverev to ten straight tour meetings, drew wide international praise, and reached large audiences through Amazon Prime Video's free access in Germany and Austria.
