--><\/p>\n<p>Jannik Sinner and Alexander Zverev are set for their very first meeting on grass in the Wimbledon final.<\/p>\n<p>Sinner has dominated the recent head-to-head record with his German rival, but there are several differences this time around at SW19.<\/p>\n<p>Not only has Zverev finally claimed that long elusive first Grand Slam by winning Roland Garros earlier this month, but his finally find a winning formula on the grass.<\/p>\n<p>Zverev had not reached past the fourth round of Wimbledon prior to this year\u2019s event, but he\u2019s made his way to the final by dropping just two sets.<\/p>\n<p>The German\u2019s serve, in particular, has been near-unplayable and Sinner has cited the weapon prior to their meeting on Centre Court for one of the biggest prizes in tennis.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking in an interview with the BBC, Sinner said he is well aware of the weapons the Roland Garros champion possesses after watching his Wimbledon campaign.<\/p>\n<h2>More Jannik

lot of confidence.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA big confidence boost and and you can see also the way he\u2019s behaving and playing tennis at the moment, very aggressively,\u201d continued the
