LONDON — World number one Jannik Sinner retained the Wimbledon 2026 men's singles title on Sunday, beating Germany's Alexander Zverev 6-7(7-9), 7-6(7-2), 6-3, 6-4 in the final, according to BBC Sport. The Italian defended the crown he claimed for the first time in 2025.
Sinner, the top seed, dropped the opening set on a tie-break before steadying to control the match on Centre Court. Zverev, a two-time Wimbledon runner-up, was unable to convert his own openings as the world No. 1 pulled clear in the third and fourth sets.
## Nosková claims maiden Wimbledon 2026 title
In the women's final a day earlier, the Czech Republic's Linda Nosková claimed her first Grand Slam singles crown, defeating compatriot Karolína Muchová in three sets, according to The Athletic and Wimbledon.com. Nosková saved five championship points in the second set before prevailing in a decider.
The results closed the 139th Championships. Sinner's victory extends an Italian run of success at the major, while Nosková's win marked the first Grand Slam singles title of her career.
**Global angle:** Sinner's defence reinforces his hold on the world No. 1 ranking ahead of the North American hard-court swing, and Nosková's breakthrough signals a deepening Czech presence in the women's game.
