Jannik Sinner confirmed himself as Wimbledon champion, winning the final of the 2026 tournament against German Alexander Zverev in four sets with the score of 6-7 (7) 7-6 (2) 6-3 6-4, after approximately three hours and forty-five minutes of play.

The match was balanced throughout its duration. The first set went to Zverev, who won the tie-break 9-7, helped by an effective serve and a more incisive forehand. In the second set, no breaks were recorded for either player and it was again decided by a tie-break, this time won by Sinner 7-2. The turnaround came in the third set, when the Italian obtained the first break of the match around the eighth game, taking the partial 6-3. In the fourth set, a new break around the seventh game directed the match decisively in favor of Sinner, who closed 6-4.

According to technical analysis reported by several outlets, the quality of the return proved decisive, especially in the tie-break of the second set, when Sinner changed his approach to the return, managing to put the German in difficulty with deeper answers. Sinner's serve also proved to be one of the strongest shots of the tournament.

For Sinner, this is the second consecutive Wimbledon title, the fifth Slam of his career and the hundredth victory in Major matches. The South Tyrolean thus becomes the tenth player in the Open Era to win at least two consecutive titles at the All England Club, joining champions such as Bjorn Borg, John McEnroe, Boris Becker, Pete Sampras, Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz. Zverev, who reached the first Wimbledon final of his career, will become world number two in the ATP ranking starting Monday.

Before the tournament, Sinner had not played any grass-court preparatory events, having undergone a period of medical tests following a sudden illness that had caused his elimination in the second round of Roland Garros. The victory at Wimbledon came after some difficulties in the early rounds of the tournament, overcome with the clear semifinal success against Novak Djokovic.

During the match, an episode of fair play was recorded: Zverev fell to the ground following a play and Sinner helped him get back up. The German initially held his knee but was able to continue the match without problems.

The tournament's prize pool reached its all-time high: the winner of the men's singles collected about 4.2 million euros, while the finalist obtained approximately 2.1 million. Identical figures were allocated for the women's tournament, won by Noskova over Muchova.

Among the public present at Centre Court were the president of CONI Luciano Buonfiglio and the sports minister Andrea Abodi. Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni commented on the victory on social media, calling it another page in the history of Italian sport.
