Jannik Sinner outlasted Alexander Zverev in a titanic battle of big serving to retain his Wimbledon crown and win his fifth grand slam title.
The world No 1 prevailed through four extremely tight sets, winning 6-7 (7), 7-6 (2) 6-3, 6-4 in a final that featured just two breaks of serve in three hours and 46 minutes. Both went Sinner’s way after the first two tiebreak sets were split, with the 24-year-old Italian digging deep in both the third and fourth to deny Zverev back-to-back grand slam titles.
