Italian
Jannik Sinner ascends to the Wimbledon throne for the second consecutive time. Defeated Sascha Zverev 6-7 7-6(2) 6-3 6-4
LONDON (ENGLAND) – There are matches you wish would never end. The one we witnessed yesterday between Jannik Sinner and Sascha Zverev is definitely one of those. Played with great intensity, between two opponents who didn’t give up for a single second. A very high level of tennis. It’s no coincidence that we are talking about the number 1 (and he will certainly remain so until the end of the year) and the new number 2 of the Atp Ranking.
A match without holds barred, where at a certain point you really didn’t know who to cheer for. A perfect showcase of sport as a whole. With Zverev falling at one point and Sinner running to him to see how he is and to give him a hand.
Definitely, the German tennis player has shifted gears after winning his first Slam in Paris. But the Italian also seems to have regained the right grit, and above all, the physical integrity that had somewhat troubled him in this 2026 after achieving the record of 1000 titles.
A Sinner was only missing a major win this year. Thus comes the double victory at Wimbledon, the temple of tennis. A mythical place where only nine people before him had managed to achieve the historic double. The complete tally shows 5 Slam victories, still missing the Roland Garros, lost by a hair last year and this year due to an illness.
This success is indeed the result of that break taken to catch a breath. From the initial difficulties to the first round taken to the fifth set against Miomir Kecmanovic, to not conceding a single break in the semifinals (against Djokovic) and the final. Only Federer managed to do this in 2003.
It seems impossible, but the boy from San Candido has grown even more. He has matured in exchanges, knowing when to hold back when necessary. But he remains a son who notices that his mother leaves the stadium twice, overwhelmed by too much emotion. And it is also for this simplicity that he is becoming more and more likable.
In a tour that has been without Alcaraz for a few months due to injury (and who knows for how much longer), a worthy new opponent was needed. And, as Zverev himself said after the match, “Finally, I believe I can win it now“. We sincerely wish you the best, Sascha, but in the meantime, we proudly enjoy our blue champion.
