Path to victory

Sinner's road to the final was not without its challenges. He had a few inconsistent patches in the opening week of The Championships but found his rhythm in the latter stages.

After defeating Novak Djokovic in straight sets in last year's semi-finals, Sinner carried that momentum into another confident display on Centre Court despite windy conditions.

He saved the only break point he faced and hit an impressive 58 winners during the match.

The World No. 1 raised his level in the second-set tie-break to gain a foothold in the clash and then earned two decisive breaks of serve to seal victory after three hours and 46 minutes.
