Jannik Sinner and Alexander Zverev swept into the Wimbledon final in ruthless style, leaving broken dreams in their wake as Novak Djokovic and Arthur Fery fell short in their bids to make history. Sinner is within touching distance of a second successive Wimbledon title after ending Djokovic’s latest attempt to win a record 25th Grand Slam triumph with a 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 demolition of the seven-time champion.
The Italian world number one will meet French Open champion Zverev in Sunday’s title match following the German second seed’s 7-6 (7/0), 6-2, 6-4 rout of British wildcard Fery. The Centre Court crowd hoped to witness the latest chapter in Fery’s fairytale run, as well as another demonstration of the 39-year-old Djokovic’s age-defying heroics.
Path to the Final
Sinner will be appearing in his second Wimbledon final as he chases a fifth Grand Slam crown, while Zverev, in search of a second major title, is through to his maiden showpiece at the All England Club. Sinner goes into the final as the firm favourite, having won his last nine meetings with Zverev, including four this year.
While Sinner is on a 13-match winning streak at Wimbledon, Zverev has won his last 13 matches at Grand Slams. The Italian can notch his 100th Grand Slam match win by repeating his 2025 Australian Open final victory over Zverev.
“It means a lot to me to play one more final here. It’s the most special tournament we have,” said Sinner, who crashed out in the second round of the recent French Open. Sinner, 24, will be competing in his seventh Grand Slam final and his first since losing to Carlos Alcaraz at the US Open last year.
Why This Matters
The final between Sinner and Zverev promises to be an exciting clash, with both players in top form and hungry for victory. The outcome will have significant implications for the tennis world, as Sinner seeks to cement his position as a dominant force, while Zverev aims to become the first German man to win Wimbledon since Michael Stich in 1991.
