LONDON — Sunday on Centre Court, Jannik Sinner of Italy defended his Wimbledon title, beating Alexander Zverev in the men’s singles final 6–7, 7–6, 6–3, 6–4 in just under four hours. This was peak Sinner, both in the quality of tennis he delivered against a motivated opponent, and big picture in rerouting his career in getting back in the winner’s circle at a major, for—as hard as this is to believe—the first time in a year. Sinner dropped to his knees after match point, and one senses this was a combination of joy, gratification and some relief. Sinner has won 10 titles since 2025 Wimbledon, but no majors. Now he’s back in business.
