The world number one recovered from dropping the opening set to win 6-7 (7/9), 7-6 (7/2), 6-3, 6-4 in three hours, 46 minutes.
Sinner, 24, claimed his fifth Grand Slam title and a second successive Wimbledon, the Italian news agency and broadcaster reported. He struck 58 winners against 25 unforced errors and notched his 100th career match win at the majors.
