the world played a very high level final, which was as tight as it was tight. The first two and a half sets did not feature a single break, with the pair sharing a tie-break set each.<\/p>\n<p>Sinner managed to keep his level, while Zverev dropped slightly, which allowed the World No 1 to take the next two sets to lift the title once again.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the gruelling defeat, which was his tenth straight defeat to the World No 1, Zverev remained classy during his post-match interview.<\/p>\n<p><span data-teams=\"true\">Speaking on court to Annabel Croft, the World No 2 said: \u201cFirst of all, Jannik I don\u2019t really like you anymore I\u2019ve lost to him nine times in a row! Congrats to Jannik, he\u2019s shown why he\u2019s the best player in the world.

Unfortunately it didn\u2019t go my way, congratulations to you first of all. I don\u2019t know how it works. Congrats to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/jannik-sinner\">Jannik\u2019s<\/a> team, who have been with him for many years. You guys are World No 1 now, but when you started you were outside the top 10. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-teams=\"true\">\u201cYou worked all your way to being Grand Slam champions, World No 1. It\u2019s definitely a team effort, I think Jannik is the first one to admit it. Congratulations to you guys as well, you really deserve it. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-teams=\"true\">\u201cThen to my team, we had a pretty good two months I would say, even though we lost this final. We had an amazing two months, we came into <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/wimbledon\">Wimbledon<\/a> never reaching the quarter finals and we played our first Wimbledon final. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-teams=\"true\">\u201c29 years old, this is the first time I actually believe I can win this trophy so thanks to you guys. I would like to thank the crowd for these two amazing weeks. Every time I played the court was full. I never felt support like that at Wimbledon. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-teams=\"true\">\u201cYou guys are a big part of why I made it to the final, so thank you very much for that. It\u2019s very, very special to play on this Centre Court and it\u2019s because of this Royal Box as well. The amount of special people I see for every single match, especially for the final. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-teams=\"true\">\u201cIt\u2019s a great honour to play in front of you your highness. It\u2019s the most unique court in the entire world and the Royal Box is a special thing.
