It was Sinner&#8217;s fifth Grand Slam title and his first tournament since his painful second-round exit at the French Open, where he suffered a dramatic collapse in difficult conditions.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"2\"\/>After sealing victory with a stunning forehand winner down the line on his first championship point, the Italian fell flat on his back on the grass to celebrate.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"4\"\/> <span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"7\"\/>Last year, Sinner had also responded to disappointment at Roland Garros by winning <a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/topic\/wimbledon\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" commonstate=\"[object Object]\" frmappuse=\"1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wimbledon<\/a>, beating Carlos Alcaraz in the final after letting three match points slip against the Spaniard in the French Open final.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"11\"\/>The victory also extended Sinner&#8217;s dominance over Zverev, marking his 10th straight win against the German, who had arrived at Wimbledon after winning his maiden Grand Slam title at the French Open.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"15\"\/><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"17\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>Zverev&#8217;s injury proves costly<br \/><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"19\"\/>The final remained evenly balanced until the third set when Zverev earned his first break point of the match at 3-3 after 2 hours and 42 minutes of play.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"21\"\/>During the point, Sinner played a drop shot and Zverev slipped on the grass while chasing it. The German appeared to hyper-extend his right knee and was clearly in discomfort.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"23\"\/><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"25\"\/>Sinner immediately walked around the net to help his opponent back to his feet. Although Zverev continued playing, he looked troubled by the injury.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"28\"\/><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"30\"\/>Soon after, he missed a forehand, threw his racket in frustration and lost serve for the first time in the match, allowing Sinner to move 5-3 ahead before comfortably serving out the set.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"32\"\/>Before that, Zverev had ended Sinner&#8217;s run of 14 straight sets against him by winning a closely fought opening-set tiebreak with a forehand winner. He celebrated with a loud roar toward his team.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"34\"\/><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"36\"\/>Throughout the match, Zverev regularly served at speeds of up to 139 mph (224 kph), while Sinner relied on accurate and well-placed aces. <!-- -->As the match progressed, however, Sinner started reading Zverev&#8217;s serve better, especially during the second-set tiebreak, where the German also began making more forehand errors.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"40\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>Perfect response after Paris heartbreak<br \/><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"42\"\/>Sinner arrived at Wimbledon looking to put behind him a disappointing French Open campaign.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"45\"\/><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"47\"\/>In late May, the Italian suffered a shock second-round defeat to world No. 56 Juan Manuel Cerundolo after his 30-match winning streak ended despite coming within one game of a straight-set victory in extremely hot and humid conditions.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"50\"\/>Following that defeat, Sinner underwent medical examinations in Milan and did not play another official match until Wimbledon.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"52\"\/><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"54\"\/>His campaign in London began with a tough five-set win over Miomir Kecmanovic after dropping the opening set.
