Wimbledon: After losing the first set, Sinner rallied to win three consecutive sets, defeating Zverev to claim his fifth Grand Slam title.
The 2026 Wimbledon Championships featured the final match today, with current world number one and last year's champion Jannik Sinner (Italy) facing off against world number three Alexander Zverev (Germany), who just won his French Open title. After losing the first set, Sinner ultimately prevailed in a four-set battle lasting 3 hours and 46 minutes, successfully defending his Wimbledon title and winning his fifth Grand Slam championship!
In excellent form, Gylfi is riding high after winning his first Grand Slam title at the French Open last month.

He not only aims to end his nine-match losing streak against Sinner, but also seeks to become the first male player in the Open Era to win his first Grand Slam title and immediately add another Grand Slam title in the next tournament.
Meanwhile, current world number one Jannik Sinner had just achieved his longest winning streak of 30 matches in May, during which he won five consecutive ATP Masters 1000 titles. However, this peak was interspersed with disappointments including a semi-final loss to Novak Djokovic at the Australian Open and a French Open defeat to Juan Manuel Cerundolo after leading in two sets.
The two had met 14 times previously, with Sinner holding a 10-4 advantage. Moreover, since the 2024 Cincinnati Open, Sinner has won nine consecutive matches against Tivelev, winning 16 sets without dropping a single set.
The two players went into a battle of holding serve from the first set onwards. Sinner only had one break point in the 8th game, but his opponent held serve with a strong serve. The two players then went to a tiebreak at 6-6. In the tiebreak, Sinner had a set point at 7-6, but Twirev won three consecutive points to take the first set 9-7, ending his 12-set losing streak against Sinner.
The second set remained a close contest, with both players holding serve until the score was tied at 6-6, leading to a second tiebreak. This time, Sinner won four consecutive points from the start. Although Sinner was brought back to 4-2, he won three more points to take the set 7-2 and level the match.
In the third set, after Sinner gradually stabilized, he saved a break point in the 7th game and broke serve first in the 8th game. He then won 4 consecutive points in the 9th game to close the gap, and Sinner won 6-3 to take a 2-1 lead. During the match, there was also an unexpected incident where Tiverev slipped while saving a shot, and Sinner rushed to the other side to help him. Fortunately, Tiverev was not seriously injured.
In the crucial seventh game of the fourth set, Sinner finally broke serve to take a 4-3, 5-3 lead. Then, in the tenth game, his last service game, Sinner won the championship point with a forehand down the line and ultimately won 6-4 to successfully defend his title!
