CENTRE COURT, WIMBLEDON — The top two seeds collide on Sunday in the men’s Wimbledon final as Jannik Sinner looks to defend his title against Alexander Zverev.
The world No.1 is bidding for a fifth grand slam and is the heavy favorite given he’s won their past nine meetings; six of them in straight sets.
But Zverev has been in impressive form at this tournament and is aiming to go back-to-back on major titles having claimed his maiden trophy at the French Open earlier this year.
Today’s champion receives £3,600,000 ($4.8m) in prize money, while the runner-up collects £1,800,000 ($2.3m) so there is plenty at stake.
