(AP)The 2026 Men’s Singles Final at the Wimbledon is locked in as defending champion Jannik Sinner is set to take on the reigning Roland Garros champion Alexander Zverev on Sunday at the Centre Court.The final was set up after Alexander Zverev defeated the homegrown wildcard Arthur Fery in straight sets (7-6 6-2 6-4) and Sinner demolished the legendary Novak Djokovic, with a commanding 6-4 6-4 6-4) win.Zverev had never made a Wimbledon quarterfinal before this year and is now in the final after a flawless performance against Fery. However, his kryptonite, Sinner is looking his best again after a disappointing early exit at the Roland Garros and will be in contention for a successive Wimbledon win. It’s a 15th career showdown between the two top seeds, and a second Grand Slam final meeting, with Sinner having beaten Zverev at the Australian Open in January of last year.Sinner is labelled as Zverev’s kryptonite because he has defeated him nine consecutive times across every surface since 2024 with Zverev’s last win against him coming back in the US Open 2023.Event BreakdownWimbledon 2026 – Jannik Sinner vs Alexander Zverev Head-to-HeadOverall Head-to-Head: Jannik Sinner leads 10–4YearTournamentRoundSurfaceWinnerScore2026ATP Masters 1000 MadridFinalClayJannik Sinner6–1, 6–22026ATP Masters 1000 Monte-CarloSemi-finalClayJannik Sinner6–1, 6–42026ATP Masters 1000 MiamiSemi-finalHardJannik Sinner6–3, 7–6(4)2026ATP Masters 1000 Indian WellsSemi-finalHardJannik Sinner6–2, 6–42025ATP FinalsRound-robinIndoor HardJannik Sinner6–4, 6–32025ATP Masters 1000 ParisSemi-finalIndoor HardJannik Sinner6–0, 6–12025ViennaFinalIndoor HardJannik Sinner3–6, 6–3, 7–52025Australian OpenFinalHardJannik Sinner6–3, 7–6(4), 6–32024ATP Masters 1000 CincinnatiSemi-finalHardJannik Sinner7–6(9), 5–7, 7–6(4)2023US OpenRound of 16HardAlexander Zverev6–4, 3–6, 6–2, 4–6, 6–32022ATP Masters 1000 Monte-CarloQuarter-finalClayAlexander Zverev5–7, 6–3, 7–6(5)2021US OpenRound of 16HardAlexander Zverev6–4, 6–4, 7–6(7)2020Cologne 2Semi-finalIndoor HardAlexander Zverev7–6(3), 6–32020French OpenRound of 16ClayJannik Sinner6–3, 6–3, 4–6, 6–3 (Source: ATP)Wimbledon 2026 Final – Tournament RunJannik Sinner vs. Alexander ZverevJannik SinnerAlexander ZverevFirst Rounddef.
