Jannik Sinner produced another masterclass to successfully defend his Wimbledon title, battling back from a set down to defeat French Open champion Alexander Zverev in Sunday's final.
The world number one recovered after dropping a tightly contested opening set in a serve-dominated encounter, eventually wearing down Zverev to claim a 6-7 (7/9), 7-6 (7/2), 6-3, 6-4 victory.
The triumph earned the Italian his first Grand Slam title since lifting the Wimbledon trophy 12 months ago and marked the fifth major title of his career.
Sinner's latest success moves him to within two Grand Slam titles of injured rival Carlos Alcaraz and also represents his 100th career match victory at the sport's four major tournaments.
The 24-year-old struck 58 winners while committing just 25 unforced errors during the three-hour, 46-minute contest on Centre Court. He remained composed throughout against an in-form Zverev, who entered the final on a 13-match winning streak in Grand Slam competition.
The victory also completed an impressive turnaround for Sinner, who had endured a disappointing French Open campaign after suffering a shock second-round defeat to Juan Manuel Cerúndolo, despite leading by two sets.
At Wimbledon, Sinner's toughest test came in the opening round, where he rallied from a set down to defeat Miomir Kecmanović in a five-set thriller before going on to retain his crown.
