Jannik Sinner will walk out for Sunday’s Wimbledon men’s singles final as the heavy favourite to defend his title, according to Sky Sports. It marks his second Wimbledon final.
Standing across the net will be Alexander Zverev, who faces the task of trying to end Sinner’s recent dominance in their head-to-head rivalry.
That rivalry has been one-sided of late. Sky Sports reports that Sinner has beaten Zverev in each of their last nine meetings, a run that underlines why the defending champion is so strongly fancied heading into the final.
For Zverev, the challenge is clear: find a way to disrupt an opponent who has repeatedly proved too strong. Overturning such a lopsided recent record on the sport’s biggest stage would rank as a significant achievement.
Sinner, meanwhile, will be aiming to complete the defence of the Wimbledon crown he holds.
