Summary
Sunday’s Wimbledon final pits No. 1 Jannik Sinner against No. 2 Alexander Zverev, with experts overwhelmingly backing Sinner to defend his title.
Nine straight wins and 14 consecutive sets against Zverev underpin that view, along with Sinner’s semifinal rout of Novak Djokovic, when he won 88% of first-serve points and faced one break point.
Zverev arrives with momentum after his first major title at the French Open and has leaned on elite serving, topping 70% on both first-serve percentage and second-serve points won in his past two matches.
Most analysts still see Sinner’s baseline control and untouchable serve as decisive, with predictions ranging from straight sets to four sets for his second Wimbledon crown and fifth Slam.
