highlighting one mind-blowing statistic that proves the Italian\u2019s dominance over the chasing pack.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/bizarre-decisive-wimbledon-moment-separates-jannik-sinner-alexander-zverev\">Sinner successfully defended his Wimbledon title<\/a> as he bounced back from losing the opening set against Alexander Zverev to secure a 6-7 (7-9), 7-6 (7-2), 6-3, 6-4 victory to lift his sixth trophy of the year.<\/p>\n<p>With the win, the Italian extended his head-to-head record against Zverev to 11-4 with 10 of those wins coming in the last 10 matches.<\/p>\n<p>Yet that is not the most impressive statistic that Roddick focused on as the American drew attention to Sinner\u2019s phenomenal serve record against <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/alexander-zverev\">Zverev<\/a> as he has now held 87 consecutive service games against the German.<\/p>\n<p>The last time Zverev managed to break Sinner\u2019s serve was in October 2025 in the Vienna Open final.<\/p>\n<h2>Jannik Sinner News<\/h2>\n<p><strong><a

I don\u2019t care if you hold 87 times against your cat, it doesn\u2019t make sense.
