believes history will count for nothing when he faces Alexander Zverev on grass for the first time in the Wimbledon final.<\/p>\n<p>The four-time Grand Slam winner holds a 10-4 lead in his head-to-head rivalry with the German \u2013 including nine wins in their last nine outings \u2013 but six of the 14 matches have been on hard courts and four on clay.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/jannik-sinner\">Sinner<\/a> has also won 14 consecutive sets against the second seed with Zverev last taking a set off the Italian in October 2025 when he won the opening set at the Vienna Open semi-final.<\/p>\n<p>But there is no doubt it will be a different <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/alexander-zverev\">Zverev<\/a> that turns up in the Wimbledon final as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/alexander-zverev-responds-when-asked-if-he-feels-more-pressure-in-matches-now-hes-won-a-grand-slam\">he is now a Grand Slam champion<\/a> after winning the French Open.<\/p>\n<p>Sinner knows he needs to be alert come Sunday afternoon as the German\u2019s confidence is sky high and it is showing through his aggressiveness during matches.<\/p>\n<h2>Wimbledon News<\/h2>\n<p><strong><a

the Wimbledon final<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/wimbledon-finals-time-linda-noskova-karolina-muchova-jannik-sinner-alexander-zverev-weather\">Wimbledon finals: What time is Jannik Sinner-Alexander Zverev match?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it\u2019s a bit different between me and him, because he tried for so long, and then when you finally achieve it, it\u2019s amazing and then gives you this confidence boost,\u201d the world No 1 said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe see it again here. We saw how aggressive he\u2019s playing, serving very big. He is a tough player to play against. He was before but now even more because of this confidence he has.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you start to win a lot of matches and don\u2019t lose a lot, it shows that he is playing incredible tennis. I saw a little bit in the two weeks, but not so much. I saw the semis because was playing before me, so I was watching. He is very, very aggressive at the moment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHis confidence is good. He\u2019s very relaxed on court at the moment, so this is good. Yeah, so let\u2019s see. I\u2019m happy to face him. I try to do the best I can, and then we see how it goes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut it\u2019s going to be very, very tough, very different than all the other matches we have played. But again, I enjoy the moment, and then we see how it goes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sinner and Zverev\u2019s most recent two meetings were on clay in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/alexander-zverev-not-up-to-scratch-jannik-sinner-madrid-open-final\">the Madrid Open final in May<\/a> and the Monte Carlo Masters in April, but their tactics will be quite different for the Centre Court grass.<\/p>\n<p>The Italian, of course, will be the favourite as he is the defending champion, while Zverev has reached the business end of the grass-court Grand Slam for the first time in his career.<\/p>\n<p>Asked what he expects during the final, Sinner replied: \u201cI mean, less exchanges, less rhythm. This we know because of the surface being that fast. Being also quite warm, it\u2019s going to be good for big server. He is definitely a big server.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut in any case, look, I try to do my best on Sunday. It feels good again being back in a Grand Slam final. It\u2019s good for me. I just try to do my best.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhatever happened in the past between me and him, it happened. In between, he won a Grand Slam in Paris, which gave him a lot of confidence. We can see the level he\u2019s producing here. We all hope for a good match, and then we see how it goes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Q. I don\u2019t know if you saw Alexander play these two weeks. We feel the title in Roland Garros has changed something in his way to behave on court, to go for the shots. Do you share this thing? What winning Grand Slam change into you when you first won a Grand Slam in Australia?<\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End --><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wimbledon final: Jannik Sinner wary of \u2018very, very aggressive\u2019 Alexander Zverev Shahida Jacobs 11 Jul 2026 10:30 AM Jannik Sinner and Alexander Zverev Jannik Sinner believes history will count for nothing when he faces Alexander Zverev on grass for the first time in the Wimbledon final.
