Excitement has reached its peak at Wimbledon, the year's third Grand Slam. At this prestigious grass-court event, the champion will be decided in a blockbuster final tomorrow. The match will pit defending champion and world number one Jannik Sinner against Alexander Zverev, who won his first Grand Slam at Roland Garros last month.
Italian star Sinner crowned his run to the final with a masterful display. Steadily rebuilding his form after a shock second-round exit at the French Open, the 24-year-old beat seven-time Wimbledon champion Novak Djokovic 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 in the semi-final. The win also served as revenge for his defeat to Djokovic in this year's Australian Open semi-final. Not having dropped a set since the first round, Sinner is chasing a second consecutive Wimbledon title.
In the other semi-final, Zverev ended the fairytale run of home-crowd favourite and wild card Arthur Fery with a 7-6(0), 6-2, 6-4 scoreline. That victory took the 29-year-old German into his first Wimbledon final and also lifted him above Alcaraz to world number two. Having long struggled at Grand Slams, Zverev is drawing attention with the free-flowing tennis he has found since his triumph in Paris, and he keeps his "Channel Slam" dream alive.
The statistics, however, are firmly on Sinner's side. The Italian has won all of his last nine meetings with Zverev, as well as the last 14 sets between them. Even so, Zverev points out that winning his first Grand Slam this year has lifted the biggest pressure off his shoulders, and he stresses his self-belief. The fact that the two have never met in a Wimbledon final before adds extra intrigue to tomorrow's clash. Here are the key details of the final:
