He collapsed onto the now-scruffy grass of the center court, his hands covering his eyes. And he remained there for a few seconds: Jannik Sinner has won the Wimbledon double, confirming his title for the second year in a row.

After winning the title in 2025 at the London Slam, the world number 1 repeated the feat this year by beating German Alexander Zverev in the final in four sets, 6-7 7-6 6-3 6-4.

"Winning at Wimbledon again is incredible. I'm also happy that it was a top-notch final," the Italian's first words. "I have to thank my team," he said, holding the Cup, "and also my mom. She was in the stands, and I saw her leave a couple of times because of the tension..."

Then, congratulations to Zverev. " You achieved one of your goals, winning a Grand Slam in Paris. This match was so close that I'm sure you'll win in London. We also have to be very careful if you want to become No. 1." And again: " We both started very well, serving very well. I'm happy with the victory, but also with the level we played at. Incredible," Sinner added. " There's no better place to play tennis. You feel the nerves when you wake up on Sunday morning, it's a special Sunday, you don't know how many times you'll be able to return." Sinner also thanked the crowd: "They gave me the best feeling a tennis player can experience." And the   balls "for everything they do. You make our lives easier on the field   ».

"First of all, Jannik, I don't like you anymore..." said Zverev, who will return to the No. 2 ranking tomorrow. " Jokes aside, you've shown once again why you're the best in the world. It was great sharing center court with you, congratulations. As for Sinner's team, you also deserve congratulations. To my team, we've had two wonderful months, even if we lost this final ," the German concluded. " I'd never played a quarterfinal here, and today I was in the final. Now I believe I can win this tournament ."
