Wimbledon: Sinner set to defend crown against revitalised Zverev

by Patrick Omorodion

Reigning champion Jannik Sinner takes a 13-match Wimbledon winning streak into Sunday’s final at the All England Club against French Open winner Alexander Zverev, unbeaten in 13 Grand Slam ties.

Sinner goes into the final as the firm favourite, having won his last nine meetings with Zverev, including four this year, but this will be their first clash since the German finally became a Grand Slam champion.

The pair have been the stand-out players in men’s tennis since Carlos Alcaraz was sidelined through injury in April.

Sinner will be appearing in his second Wimbledon final as he chases a fifth Grand Slam crown, while Zverev, in search of a second major title, is through to his maiden showpiece at the All England Club and in better form than ever.

The Italian can notch his 100th Grand Slam match win by repeating his 2025 Australian Open final victory over Zverev.

“It means a lot to me to play one more final here. It’s the most special tournament we have,” said Sinner, who crashed out in the second round of the recent French Open.

Sinner will be competing in his seventh Grand Slam final and his first since losing to Carlos Alcaraz at the US Open last year.

The 24-year-old has not dropped a set in his last six wins over Zverev.
