Sinner to Play Zverev in Wimbledon Men’s Final

Overview

• Alexander Zverev defeated British wildcard Arthur Féry 7-6(7/0), 6-2, 6-4 on Friday to reach his first Wimbledon final and end Féry’s surprise run.
• Jannik Sinner beat Novak Djokovic 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 on Friday to deny the 39-year-old a 25th major and book his place in Sunday’s final.
• Zverev’s win moves him up the ATP standings to world No.2 and makes him the first German man to reach the All England Club final since 1995.
• Arthur Féry, who entered Wimbledon as a wild card ranked No.114, will rise into the top 40 (to about No.36) after becoming the first male wild-card semi-finalist at Wimbledon in 25 years.
• The final pairs two in-form major winners—Sinner the defending champion and Zverev the recent French Open winner—setting up a rematch of a prior Grand Slam final and testing contrasting grass-court strengths.
