Summary
Although Zverev was frustrated to miss out on becoming the first German man to win Wimbledon since Michael Stich in 1991, he took comfort from a remarkable two months. Zverev had a chance to follow his first Grand Slam title at the French Open in June by winning Wimbledon after taking the first set in the showdown with Sinner. Only one break point was on offer in the opening 12 games with Sinner missing his chance at 4-3 on the Zverev serve when he uncharacteristically framed a forehand wide.
Furthermore, Had it not been for a fall at 3-3 in the third set on his only break point of the match, Zverev may well have become the first German man to win the singles title at the All England Club since Michael Stich in 1991. But the 29-year-old was unable to topple the relentless world No 1 as Sinner hit back to win 6-7 (7/9), 7-6 (7/2), 6-3, 6-4 in a bruising battle on Centre Court. ZVEREV SHAKEN BY FALL At 3-3, Zverev earned his first break point of the match after two hours and 42 minutes but when Sinner conjured a deft drop shot, Zverev slipped behind the dusty baseline and fell awkwardly.
In addition, Zverev will rise to number two in the ATP rankings next week, just behind Sinner and ahead of Alcaraz, who has missed the last two Grand Slams due to a wrist injury. Zverev says attacking approach can help bridge gap to Sinner and Alcaraz.
