Jannik Sinner has won the Wimbledon men’s title for a second straight year, downing Alexander Zverev in four sets on Monday morning (AEST).
The Italian world No.1 dropped the first set to his German rival but took the match 6-7 (7), 7-6 (2), 6-3, 6-4 to claim the coveted silverware.
Jannik Sinner of Italy celebrates winning championship point against Alexander Zverev.
Zverev appeared bothered by a knee issue following a slip to the grass on a key point in the third set.
Sinner’s fifth grand slam title came in his first tournament since a second-round meltdown at the French Open, when he wilted in a Paris heat wave.
When Sinner ripped a forehand winner up the line on his first match point, the Italian dropped to the grass on his back in celebration.
“There’s no better place to play tennis,” Sinner said during the trophy ceremony.
A year ago, Sinner beat Carlos Alcaraz in the final at the All England Club after wasting three match points against his rival in the Roland Garros final.
It was Sinner’s 10th straight victory over Zverev, who was coming off his first grand slam title at the French Open.
Zverev’s previous best performance at Wimbledon was reaching the fourth round three times.
“I’m 29 years old and this is the first time I actually believe I can win this trophy,” Zverev said.
Prince William joined his wife Kate and two of their children for the final in a star-studded Royal Box that also included actors Dustin Hoffman, Nicole Kidman and Ben Stiller.
