Jannik Sinner wins Wimbledon and receives 4.8 million dollars.

Jannik Sinner shone once again at Wimbledon, winning the title for the second consecutive time and securing a prize of 4.8 million dollars. In the final held on Sunday, July 12, 2026, the Italian overcame Alexander Zverev with a score of 6-7(7), 7-6(2), 6-3, 6-4, consolidating an impressive streak of ten consecutive victories against the German and raising his record to 11-4.

This triumph places Sinner among the greats of the Open Era, being only the 10th man to successfully defend the title at Wimbledon. Furthermore, he became the first to achieve this feat since Carlos Alcaraz in 2023 and 2024. With this result, Zverev, who reached the Wimbledon final for the first time, received 2.4 million dollars as the runner-up but maintains high ambitions for the future, including the goal of reaching world number one.

Before the final, Sinner had only dropped two sets in the tournament, both in the first round against Miomir Kecmanovic, while Zverev had also lost two sets in the initial matches against Alexander Blockx and Jiri Lehecka. Zverev's campaign was further marked by the elimination of Arthur Fery in the semifinals, frustrating British hopes of winning a Grand Slam title since Andy Murray in 2016. Sinner, for his part, thwarted Novak Djokovic, preventing him from achieving his 25th Grand Slam title, in a rematch of the previous year's semifinal.

During the trophy presentation ceremony, Sinner highlighted the quality and determination of his opponent: “Amazing. But as Sascha did, I’d like to start with you and your whole team and family. You reached one of your goals, winning a Grand Slam. You made it happen in Paris. Today you were so, so close. If you play like this, I’m very, very sure you’re gonna have this one at home also. Amazing. Keep going. I know the goal for you is to become World No.1. You’re very, very close. We have to be very careful now. But congrats.” His message reflects respect and recognition for the German's journey.

This title adds to an impressive resume for Sinner, who has already won five Masters 1000 trophies, including the Sunshine Double and victories over Alcaraz in Monte Carlo, Madrid, and Rome, becoming the second player after Novak Djokovic to achieve the Career Golden Slam. After the victory, Sinner shared his emotional connection to the tournament: “For me, Wimbledon has always been, since I was 10 or 11 years old, the only tennis tournament I followed. Now, winning here twice means the world to me.”

With this triumph, Sinner maintains his position at the top of the world rankings, a spot he secured after his victory in Monte Carlo, while Zverev climbed to second place following his semifinal at Wimbledon. Sinner's dominance at the All England Club, without the need for preparation in grass tournaments, reinforces his status as a favorite and his ability to excel in major competitions. The tennis circuit now awaits the next challenges for the Italian, who is increasingly establishing himself as one of the biggest stars in world tennis.
