Sinner Wins Wimbledon Again for Fifth Grand Slam Title
Jannik Sinner won the Wimbledon men's singles final. He beat Alexander Zverev 6-7 7-6 6-3 6-4.
The win gave Sinner his fifth Grand Slam title. He also defended his Wimbledon championship from last year.
Sinner is the world's top-ranked player. He became the 10th man to defend a Wimbledon title in the Open Era.
This was his first Grand Slam win of 2026. He had lost early at the French Open this year.
Sinner has now beaten Zverev 10 times in a row. Zverev slipped and appeared to hurt his knee in the third set.
The injury let Sinner take control of the match. Zverev had entered the final as the second seed.
He won his first Grand Slam title at the French Open in May 2026. He hoped to win Wimbledon right after but fell short.
Zverev will rise to world No. 2 after his runner-up finish.
