By winning his second consecutive Wimbledon title, Jannik Sinner cemented his status as the top player in world tennis, while in the women’s draw, Linda Nosková claimed the most prestigious title on grass.
Sinner cements his dominance on London grass
Center Court once again crowned Jannik Sinner. Facing Germany’s Alexander Zverev in the final, the Italian claimed his second consecutive Wimbledon title with a score of 6-7, 7-6, 6-3, 6-4. Already the champion from last year, the world No. 1 managed to defend his title after more than three hours of play against Zverev, who was seeking his second Grand Slam title following his victory at Roland Garros in May.
And the match lived up to all expectations. Solid on serve and particularly aggressive with his forehand, Alexander Zverev won the first set in a tiebreak after saving several tricky situations. But Sinner didn’t panic and responded by dominating the second-set tiebreak before gradually gaining the upper hand in the rallies. Starting in the third set, his intensity from the baseline and the quality of his returns eventually wore down his opponent, who was unable to regain the initiative despite a high-level performance.
Sinner thus returned to winning ways after a particularly frustrating French Open, where he was eliminated in the second round. The Italian claimed his fifth Grand Slam title and solidified his position as world No. 1.
