Sinner holds off Zverev to claim successive Wimbledon titles

Jannik Sinner solidified his place among the game’s elite by overcoming Alexander Zverev for consecutive Wimbledon men’s singles championships. The Italian prevailed in four sets, 6-7, 7-6, 6-3, 6-4, on the lawns of the All England Club.

Zverev entered the final buoyed by his maiden Grand Slam triumph at the French Open the previous month, yet Sinner’s steadiness carried the day. The result lifts Sinner’s unbroken streak over Zverev to 10 meetings and makes him only the 10th man in the Open era to retain the Wimbledon men’s singles title.
