Wimbledon men\u2019s singles final between Alexander Zverev and Jannik Sinner, backing the Italian to retain his title in what he expects to be a \u2018battle\u2019 between the world\u2019s top two players.<\/p>\n<p>The Italian is the defending champion at the All England Club and has enjoyed a mixed route to this year\u2019s final.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/jannik-sinner\">Sinner<\/a> opened his campaign with a hard-fought five-set victory over Miomir Kecmanovic, but has not dropped a set since.<\/p>\n<p>Despite losing only two sets throughout the tournament, his level during the opening rounds was some way below the sensational standard he produced at Wimbledon 12 months ago.<\/p>\n<p>However, against seven-time champion Novak Djokovic in the semi-finals, Sinner returned to his brilliant best, producing a dominant 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 victory without facing a single break point.<\/p>\n<p>It was also his sixth win over Djokovic in their last seven meetings, further underlining the Italian\u2019s dominance in one of tennis\u2019 biggest rivalries.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Zverev arrives fresh from capturing his maiden Grand Slam title at this year\u2019s French Open after previously losing his first three major finals.<\/p>\n<p>Like Sinner, the German has dropped just two sets en route to the final \u2013 against Alexander Blockx in the first round and Jiri Lehecka in the fourth round.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/alexander-zverev\">Zverev<\/a> then defeated home favourite Arthur Fery 7-6(0), 6-2, 6-4 in the semi-finals to become the oldest player in the Open Era to reach the men\u2019s singles final at all four Grand Slam tournaments.<\/p>\n<p>Rusedski \u2013 the former British No 1 \u2013 believes Sinner will ultimately prove too strong, though he expects Zverev to make the final highly competitive.<\/p>\n<h2>Latest Tennis News<\/h2>\n<p>Novak Djokovic

the Wimbledon final<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think Sinner, I\u2019m going to pick to win,\u201d he said during an episode of the <em>Off Court with Greg<\/em> podcast.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI said from the start, and especially after Djokovic got tired, I\u2019m super impressed with him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSinner\u2019s won something like nine in a row (against Zverev). I mean, it\u2019s an incredible record, but I don\u2019t think it\u2019s straight sets.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think Sasha comes out in battles. I was impressed. I think he gets at least a set, I hope he gets two and I hope it goes the distance. I want to see a classic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf both men play their best tennis, we go the distance. Zverev\u2019s got to come in aggressive, he\u2019s got to believe, but Sinner for me to win the title.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The head-to-head between the pair stands at 10-4 in Sinner\u2019s favour, with the Italian having won each of their last nine meetings.<\/p>\n<p>Their most recent encounter came in the final of this year\u2019s Madrid Open, where Sinner cruised to a convincing 6-1, 6-2 victory.<\/p>\n<p>The pair have never met on grass, while Zverev\u2019s last victory over Sinner came in four sets at the 2022 US Open.<\/p>\n<p>Sinner is chasing a fifth Grand Slam singles title and a second Wimbledon crown after defeating Carlos Alcaraz 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 in last year\u2019s final.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End --><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Greg Rusedski reveals his bold prediction for Sinner-Zverev Wimbledon final Oliver Paton 11 Jul 2026 7:30 PM Alexander Zverev (L) and Jannik Sinner (R) Greg Rusedski has made his prediction for the 2026 Wimbledon men\u2019s singles final between Alexander Zverev and Jannik Sinner, backing the Italian to retain his title in what he expects to [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[226,249],"class_list":["post-2038857","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-crawlmanager","tag-tennis365-com"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2038857","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2038857"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2038857\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2038857"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2038857"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2038857"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
