his knee during a tense third set.<\/p>\n<p>There had yet to be a break of serve between Sinner and Zverev in the first two and a half sets, with the two men each winning a tie-break to level the match.<\/p>\n<p>The third set continued to be a cagey, but high level, affair until Zverev hit the deck after coming unstuck from a cheeky drop shot from the Italian.<\/p>\n<p>The moment dramatically changed the set as Sinner produced the first break of the match and he subsequeny closed out the set to take a 2-1 lead over the German.<\/p>\n<p>According to Todd Woodbridge, who was watching on near the coaching boxes for the BBC, Zverev shared some words with Sinner after he hit the deck.<\/p>\n<h2>More Wimbledon news<\/h2>\n<p><a

is allowed to use his phone during Wimbledon final<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/alexander-zverev-wimbledon-kit-adidas\">Inside story on the innovative new kit being worn by Alexander Zverev at Wimbledon<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen he rolled over on his back, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/alexander-zverev\">Zverev<\/a> looked up to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/jannik-sinner\">Sinner<\/a> and said \u2018I\u2019m OK and fine\u2019 but it was a turning point,\u201d said the former Grand Slam champion.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOnce he dropped serve, he was looking up to his box asking \u2018What do I do?\u2019 Jannik Sinner is so strong mentally. The set could have gone either way.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese small moments are so important,\u201d he added. \u201cZverev has to come out with a positive mind. I hope he doesn\u2019t have the attitude of \u2018poor me\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Zverev did not call for the trainer after he fell over, but both <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/andre-agassi\">Andre Agassi<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/andrew-castle\">Andrew Castle<\/a> were worried for the star\u2019s condition after the fall.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe didn\u2019t look at all comfortable going out to the right (early in 4th set). Is that fatigue or hurt?,\u201d asked Castle while on commentary duties for the BBC.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wouldn\u2019t call it fatigue,\u201d responded Agassi. \u201cI have seen this guy play for a long time. I don\u2019t know if I have ever seen him start to really lose an edge physically out there. He is bending his right knee now as we speak\u2026 feeling something.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With just one set away from losing the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/wimbledon\">Wimbledon<\/a> final, Zverev will be hoping his Wimbledon titles hopes don\u2019t come down to a disappointing fall on Centre Court.<\/p>\n<p>The match up to the point of the fall had largely all come down to both men\u2019s serve. Both Zverev and Sinner were remarkable on serve during the first two sets, which was the major reason neither men really got a sniff at break points.<\/p>\n<p>Having lost nine straight times to Sinner, the opening to the Wimbledon final was undoubtedly the best Zverev has played against the Italian in years.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End --><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What Alexander Zverev was heard saying to Jannik Sinner on-court after scary fall derails Wimbledon final Liam McMillen 12 Jul 2026 7:45 PM Jannik Sinner offering to help Alexander Zverev up in the Wimbledon 2026 final Alexander Zverev produced a scary moment during the Wimbledon final as he fell to the ground clutching his knee [&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-2039998","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\/2039998","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=2039998"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2039998\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2039998"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2039998"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2039998"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
