Alexander Zverev has played one of the best matches remembered in the final of Wimbledon 2026 against Jannik Sinner, but it wasn't enough to stop the world number 1 and secure his second consecutive Grand Slam. In the trophy ceremony, the German tennis player surrendered to the player from San Candido, once again labeling him as the best player in the world.

"First of all, Jannik, I no longer like you. I have lost to you 9 times in a row. He has once again shown why he is the best player in the world. It was incredible to share this final with you, so congratulations even though victory did not come on my side. Also to his team, who has led him to be a Grand Slam champion and has an incredible environment. To my team, we have had two great months despite losing this final. We had never reached the quarterfinals at Wimbledon, and this was the first time I believed I could win the title here. Also, thanks to the fans for being incredible for two weeks, it's amazing to play on this court, it is the most unique, and the royal box has a great deal of responsibility," he stated.

Can Zverev be number 1?

There is little to blame Zverev for, who played like a champion and excelled in tennis after winning his first major at Roland Garros. However, Sinner is still a force to be reckoned with and achieved his fifth Grand Slam of his career in style. Nevertheless, in this tournament, it has been evident that the German player is a new man after shedding the burden of not having won a Grand Slam before, so he must be considered as a contender to win all possible tournaments.

Until 2026, Zverev was criticized for falling short in crucial moments, but that stereotype must disappear from now on. For now, the German player has taken advantage of Carlos Alcaraz's absence due to his wrist injury to claim the number 2 ranking. In matches like today's, it has been demonstrated that he has everything required to even aim for the ATP ranking throne.
