Sinner retains Wimbledon title with four-set victory over Zverev

· Sports GBRITADEU

Jannik Sinner successfully defended his Wimbledon crown on Sunday, defeating Alexander Zverev 6-7 (7), 7-6 (2), 6-3, 6-4 in the men's final. The victory secured Sinner's fifth Grand Slam title and 30th ATP trophy, capping a dominant fortnight in which he dropped no sets after his opening-round match against Miomir Kecmanovic.

Zverev, who entered the final having won the French Open earlier this year, suffered his fourth career defeat in a Grand Slam final. The German was attempting to become his country's first Wimbledon champion since Michael Stich in 1991. Despite the loss, Zverev will replace Carlos Alcaraz as world number two when the updated rankings are released.

Sunday's final was broadcast free to air on Amazon Prime Video, with coverage beginning an hour before the first ball was struck at 17:00 local time.
