Path to victory
Sinner's journey to the final
Sinner's road to the final was not without its challenges. He had a few inconsistent patches in the opening week of The Championships but found his rhythm in the latter stages. After defeating Novak Djokovic in straight sets in last year's semi-finals, Sinner carried that momentum into another confident display on Centre Court despite windy conditions. He saved the only break point he faced and hit an impressive 58 winners during the match.
Match dynamics
A look at match summary
Zverev, who capitalized on Sinner's early exit at Roland Garros in May to win his first major title, came out aggressively. He hit 76% of his first serves and played aggressively to put the top seed under pressure. However, Sinner remained patient, used his impressive agility to slide into corners, and absorbed Zverev's aggressive ball-striking. The World No. 1 raised his level in the second-set tie-break to gain a foothold in the clash and then earned two decisive breaks of serve to seal victory after three hours and 46 minutes.
