Jannik Sinner, the reigning Wimbledon champion, heads into Sunday’s final at the All England Club riding a 13-match winning streak at the tournament. He is set to face Alexander Zverev, the current French Open champion, who enters the clash unbeaten in his last 13 Grand Slam matches. Although Sinner is considered the favorite having dominated their recent head-to-head record, this marks their first meeting since Zverev claimed his debut major title.
Since Carlos Alcaraz was sidelined by injury in April, Sinner and Zverev have emerged as the dominant forces in men’s tennis. Sinner is aiming for his fifth Grand Slam title in his second appearance at a Wimbledon final, while Zverev seeks his second major championship in his first-ever appearance at the All England Club showpiece. Sinner acknowledges his opponent’s improved form, noting that Zverev appears more relaxed and aggressive on the court since his success at Roland Garros.
Both players have been remarkably consistent throughout this tournament, each losing only two sets. Sinner secured his place in the final with a commanding victory over Novak Djokovic in the semi-finals. Meanwhile, Zverev hopes to become the seventh man in the Open era to win the French Open and Wimbledon back-to-back, a feat that would mark the first time a German man has claimed the Wimbledon trophy since Michael Stich in 1991.
