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.
