Defending Champion One Win from History
Jannik Sinner moved into the Wimbledon final after defeating Novak Djokovic in straight sets, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4. He saved the only break point he faced and converted three of the 13 break opportunities he created during the match.
The Italian was pushed to five sets by Miomir Kecmanovic in the opening round, but since then he has not dropped a set, producing four consecutive straight-set victories to reach the final.
With this run, Sinner became the first world No. 1 to reach consecutive Wimbledon finals since Novak Djokovic achieved the feat in 2019 and 2021.
Last year, Sinner also defeated Djokovic in straight sets in the semifinals before coming from a set down to beat Carlos Alcaraz in the final and lift his maiden Wimbledon title. He will now look to defend his crown.
Earlier this season, the Italian dominated the tour by winning five consecutive Masters titles and putting together a 40-match winning streak, which ended with a second-round loss at Roland Garros.
He heads into this clash with a 4-2 career record in Grand Slam finals, with both defeats coming against Carlos Alcaraz.

Roland Garros Champion Eyes Double
Alexander Zverev secured his place in the Wimbledon final after ending Arthur Fery's dream run with a straight-set 7-6, 6-2, 6-4 victory. Despite dropping serve once in the opening set, he remained in control for most of the match.
The German was tested by Taylor Fritz in the quarterfinals before producing one of his best performances of the tournament to snap a seven-match losing streak against the American, showing his growing confidence.
With this run, Zverev became the oldest player in the Open Era to reach the final at all four Grand Slams, surpassing Andy Murray.
The 29-year-old won his maiden Grand Slam title at Roland Garros earlier this season, a breakthrough that has given him plenty of confidence. However, beating the very best players in Grand Slams has remained a challenge, as he owns a 1-14 record against top-five opponents at the majors.
Zverev heads into this clash with a 1-3 career record in Grand Slam finals. All three of his defeats came against top-three opponents, Dominic Thiem at the 2020 US Open, Carlos Alcaraz at Roland Garros 2024, and Jannik Sinner at the 2025 Australian Open.
