Sinner, Zverev set for Wimbledon final showdown

Reigning champion Jannik Sinner faces French Open winner Alexander Zverev in the Wimbledon final on July 12, 2026.

It means a lot to me to play one more final here. It’s the most special tournament we have.

Since Carlos Alcaraz's injury layoff in April, Sinner and Zverev have emerged as the top players in men's tennis. Sinner is aiming for his fifth Grand Slam title in his second Wimbledon final appearance. Zverev, seeking his second major, reaches his first Wimbledon final in strong form.

Sinner, who has not dropped a set in his last six matches against Zverev, acknowledges the German's increased confidence. "He is very, very aggressive at the moment. His confidence is good. He’s very relaxed on court at the moment, so this is good," Sinner said of his opponent. Both players have dropped only two sets each at Wimbledon this year.

“

He is very, very aggressive at the moment. His confidence is good. He’s very relaxed on court at the moment, so this is good.

Sinner's path to the final included a comeback from two sets down in the first round and a dominant semi-final victory over Novak Djokovic. Zverev, meanwhile, has shown strong form throughout the tournament, building on his recent Grand Slam success.

I knew mentally I had to raise my level, which I have done so I am very happy.
