earned his only break point of the match at 3-3 in the third set &#8212; 2 hours and 42 minutes in. <\/p>\n<p>Sinner produced a drop shot and Zverev slipped and appeared to hyper-extend his right knee as he attempted to change directions behind the baseline. Zverev grasped his knee in apparent discomfort and Sinner went around the net and helped his opponent up off the grass. <\/p>\n<div class=\"widget widget--type-image widget--size-fullwidth widget--animation-fade-in widget--align-center\" data-ratio=\"0.6665\">\n<div class=\"widget__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"widget__ratio widget__ratio--auto\">\n<div class=\"widget__contents\">\n<figure class=\"widget__figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"widgetImage__image\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/83\/54\/46\/808x539_cmsv2_24251424-e084-5797-bbfb-f1b2e709f3ae-9835446.jpg\" alt=\"Jannik Sinner of Italy, left helps up Alexander Zverev of Germany who fell during the men&apos;s singles final at Wimbledon Tennis Championships in London, Sunday, July 12, 2026.\"><figcaption class=\"widget__caption\"><span class=\"widget__captionWrap\"><span class=\"widget__captionText\">Jannik Sinner of Italy, left helps up Alexander Zverev of Germany who fell during the men&#8217;s singles final at Wimbledon Tennis Championships in London, Sunday, July 12, 2026.<\/span><span class=\"widget__captionCredit\">AP Photo\/Kin Cheung<\/span><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Zverev quickly resumed playing but he appeared slightly hampered and slung his racket across the baseline in frustration when he missed a forehand and handed Sinner the first break of the match and a 5-3 lead in the third.

Iran, a day after saying talks back on<br \/>\n  <\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<div class=\"articleBody\" data-key=\"articleBody\">Jannik Sinner bounced back to defend his Wimbledon title with a tense four-set victory over French Open champion Alexander Zverev in Sunday&#8217;s final.When Sinner ripped a forehand winner up the line on his first match point, the Italian dropped to the grass on his back in an unusually dramatic celebration for the normally low-key Italian.\u201cThis one means a lot because (it) was a tough one after Paris again,\u201d Sinner said. \u201cI\u2019m proud of myself and my team, which continues to push me in the right direction.\u201dAmid stifling heat and humidity in Paris in late May, Sinner had his 30-match winning streak ended after coming within one game of a straight-set victory over Juan Manuel Cerundolo, who was ranked No. 56.Sinner went in for medical exams in Milan after the Paris defeat and didn\u2019t play an official match again until he arrived at Wimbledon, where he twice had to come back from a set down in a five-set marathon against Miomir Kecmanovic in the first round.Sinner then didn\u2019t drop a set the rest of the way until the final, having dominated against Novak Djokovic in the semifinals.It was Sinner&#8217;s 10th straight victory over Zverev, who was coming off his first Grand Slam title at the French Open.Zverev\u2019s previous best performance at Wimbledon was reaching the fourth round three times.\u201cI\u2019m 29 years old and this is the first time I actually believe I can win this trophy,\u201d Zverev said.The top two seeds appeared perfectly matched until Zverev earned his only break point of the match at 3-3 in the third set &#8212; 2 hours and 42 minutes in.Sinner produced a drop shot and Zverev slipped and appeared to hyper-extend his right knee as he attempted to change directions behind the baseline. Zverev grasped his knee in apparent discomfort and Sinner went around the net and helped his opponent up off the grass.Zverev quickly resumed playing but he appeared slightly hampered and slung his racket across the baseline in frustration when he missed a forehand and handed Sinner the first break of the match and a 5-3 lead in the third. Sinner then served it out.Sinner became the first player to win the men\u2019s singles title at Wimbledon without conceding a service game in either the semifinals (against Novak Djokovic) or the final since Roger Federer did it in 2003 against Andy Roddick and Mark Philippoussis, respectively, en route to the first of his record eight titles.<\/div>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/2026\/07\/13\/jannik-sinner-defeats-alexander-zverev-to-win-second-straight-wimbledon-title&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/83\/54\/46\/1200x675_cmsv2_441615ec-ff02-5b63-869c-9efee382da3f-9835446.jpg&#8221;] Europe News Officials race to contain fire of &#8216;exceptional scale&#8217; south of Paris Culture news Europe&#8217;s strangest delicacies: When disgust becomes cultural heritage The Big Question \u2018The clock is ticking\u2019: Why Europe urgently needs a single market Culture news Europe doesn&#8217;t need a single memory but a shared story Europe News Officials [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[90],"tags":[226,36],"class_list":["post-2040221","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-international","tag-crawlmanager","tag-euronews-com"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2040221","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=2040221"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2040221\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2040221"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2040221"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2040221"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
