The top two seeds meet in the Wimbledon final this afternoon, with defending champion Jannik Sinner looking to retain his title against Alexander Zverev, who is seeking back-to-back Grand Slam wins following his French Open victory in June.
Sinner was utterly dominant in his semi-final against Novak Djokovic, winning in straight sets in a performance that confirmed the Italian as a clear favourite for today’s final. He has not dropped a set since a first-round scare in the opening week and arrives at the final having won nine consecutive matches against Zverev, a staggering run that tells its own story.
Zverev has not won a set in his last six matches against Sinner. The gap between the two players right now is substantial, and the German will need to produce the performance of his career to have any realistic chance on Centre Court this afternoon.
After beating Djokovic, Sinner said he knew he had to raise his level mentally and felt he had done exactly that. If he plays at that standard today, this final could be settled quickly.
Zverev got through his semi-final against British wildcard Arthur Fery in straight sets, though Fery did push him to a tiebreak in the opening set before Zverev’s power and serve took over in the second and third. The German has been hitting his serve consistently well all fortnight and his first strike tennis on grass is world class when things click.
Zverev’s French Open title showed he can win Grand Slams, but grass is a different surface entirely. His movement is not as clean as Sinner’s, his return of serve is less reliable on a fast surface and the numbers on recent meetings make difficult reading for anyone wanting to back the German.
Sinner has won the last nine meetings between the two and, on the evidence of this tournament, looks a different class to everyone else in the draw. The Italian has the serve, the return game, the movement and the mental strength to win today’s final with something to spare.
Zverev is not without hope. If he can land his serve consistently, keep the rallies short and take his chances on return, he has the weapons to take sets and cause Sinner discomfort.
