Garros exit to win the Wimbledon title for the second year in a row.<\/p>\n<p>The Italian dropped just two sets all tournament as he navigated his way past Miomir Kecmanovic, Nuno Borges, Jenson Brooksby, Shintaro Mochizuki, Jan-Lennard Struff, Novak Djokovic, and Alexander Zverev.<\/p>\n<p>As a result of his Wimbledon triumph, Sinner now has the chance to achieve the very rare feat of winning Wimbledon and the US Open in the same year.<\/p>\n<p>Only eight men have managed the feat in tennis history, with no player managing the achievement for over a decade.<\/p>\n<h2>More tennis

match, in what is the Italian\u2019s last defeat at the UK Grand Slam to date.<\/p>\n<p>A year later and Sinner came even closer to joining the club.
