Jannik Sinner has retained his Wimbledon men's singles title with victory over French Open champion Alexander Zverev.
The contest between Sinner and Zverev was closely fought, with the first two sets finishing 6-7 and 7-6, respectively.
It stayed tight at the start of the third set, but Sinner came through to claim it 6-3. At one point, Zverev threw his racket down in frustration.
Sinner's victory follows his 2025 championship win, making him the tenth Wimbledon men's singles champion to retain the title in the open era.
The 24-year-old Italian achieved the feat with a fourth-set 6-4 victory. Speaking on centre court following his win, he said: "My mum had to leave the stadium a couple of times! It was an amazing final. It takes two players.
"We tried to give everything we have, I'm happy about thew win, but I'm also happy about the level we both played at.
"There is no better place to play tennis, honestly. I could feel the nerves when I woke up, and this is a very, very special day. I never take it for granted."
Zverev was also coming off a strong year, having claimed his first grand slam title at his fourth attempt at a major final in June, winning the French Open over 14th-ranked Flavio Cobolli.
Speaking about his rival, Sinner said: "It's amazing. To Alex - he got his first Grand Slam in Paris this year, and he was so, so close today.
"If he keeps playing like this, I am sure he will have this Wimbledon trophy soon.
