Jannik Sinner plays Alexander Zverev in the Wimbledon final with both players looking to claim different back-to-back titles. World No 1 Sinner is attempting to win consecutive Wimbledons, while newly crowned French Open champion Zverev looks to back up his maiden success from last month’s Roland Garros.
Sinner, 24, has dominated Zverev in their recent meetings and has won nine matches in a row against the second seed, 29. But the big-serving German has appeared to have been released by ending his long wait for a grand slam title at last month’s French Open, a tournament Sinner was knocked out of after just the second round.
The Italian returned to form with a ruthless thrashing of Novak Djokovic in the semi-finals, while Zverev ended the fairytale run of British wildcard Arthur Fery. Zverev’s first Wimbledon final is clouded by domestic abuse allegations that have marred his career, and which he has always strenuously denied.
On Saturday, Linda Noskova dedicated her victory over Karolina Muchova to her late mother, Ivana, who passed away on the eve of the same tournament two years ago. Noskova, 21, won her first grand slam title and became the latest Czech player to lift the Venus Rosewater Dish as she overcame compatriot Muchova in a thrilling three-set battle.

Arthur Fery overpowered by Alexander Zverev as Wimbledon dream comes to abrupt end
10:35 , Flo Clifford on Centre CourtArthur Fery leapt for joy and punched the air to a huge round of applause. Alexander Zverev hit long in the next rally to concede the break and send the Centre Court crowd leaping to their feet in raptures, too.
It was the kind of moment that summed up the Brit’s tournament: opportunity created out of nothing, his on-court intelligence putting him one or two steps ahead, and helping him wrestle himself back into contention.
Ultimately, it was not enough: Zverev dominated the first set tie-break and played with an authority that has not always come naturally, the world No 3 winning 7-6(0), 6-2, 6-4 to reach his first Wimbledon final.

How Jannik Sinner reached Wimbledon final
10:15 , Jamie BraidwoodThe memory of that night in Melbourne burned in the back of Jannik Sinner’s mind, and the reigning Wimbledon champion ensured there would be no repeat. Instead, the Italian wound back time and fell back into the groove of what had, until January, developed into a one-sided rivalry. Sinner was relentless, producing a masterful serving performance to allow Novak Djokovic just one break point and snuffing out any opportunities the Serbian had to find momentum. His 6-4 6-4 6-4 win also bore a striking resemblance to last year’s semi-final. “Was a good old blowout,” Djokovic smiled. “Nothing much I could do.”

What has Alexander Zverev said ahead of Wimbledon final?
09:55 , Jamie Braidwood“Once you win a major you know how to do it and you feel like you can do it again. You have this feeling inside of you. The second thing, I feel like I worked on my game a lot. I feel like my game has improved. Sometimes in sports it's as simple as that. You can talk about mental stuff, you can talk about certain situations, coaching changes, whatever. But if you improve as a player and you make the decision as a player to improve, you're going to do better in tournaments.”
What has Jannik Sinner said about Alexander Zverev?
09:40 , Jamie Braidwood“We saw how aggressive he's playing, serving very big. He is a tough player to play against. He was before but now even more because of this confidence he has. When you start to win a lot of matches and don't lose a lot, it shows that he is playing incredible tennis. His confidence is good. He's very relaxed on court at the moment. But it's going to be very, very tough, very different than all the other matches we have played.”

Hello and welcome
09:00 , Jamie BraidwoodJannik Sinner bids to defend his Wimbledon title against second seed Alexander Zverev as the newly crowned French Open champion attempts to win back-to-back grand slam titles.
World No 1 Sinner, 24, reached his second consecutive Wimbledon final by beating Novak Djokovic in straight-sets and is one win away from a fifth grand slam title in total.
Zverev, who ended the run of British wildcard Arthur Fery in the semi-finals, is through to his first Wimbledon final and is enjoying his best run of form of his career.
The 29-year-old German ended his long wait to win a grand slam title last month at the French Open and appears to have been released by finally winning a major title.
Sinner and Zverev previously contested the 2025 Australian Open final, with the Italian winning in straight sets, which is one of nine consecutive victories in their head-to-head.
