Jannik Sinner beats Alexander Zverev to win Wimbledon again and move on from French Open meltdown

LONDON (AP) — Jannik Sinner is starting to make a habit of responding to adversity in Paris with titles at Wimbledon.

The top-ranked Sinner beat Alexander Zverev 6-7 (7), 7-6 (2), 6-3, 6-4 Sunday for his second consecutive title at the All England Club after his German opponent appeared bothered by a knee issue following a slip to the grass on a key point in the third set.

Sinner's fifth Grand Slam title came in his first tournament since a second-round meltdown at the French Open, when he wilted in a Paris heat wave.

When Sinner ripped a forehand winner up the line on his first match point, the Italian dropped to the grass on his back in celebration.

Princess Kate lauds Dabrowski for returning to Wimbledon final after cancer treatment

The Associated Press 3 minute read Sunday, Jul. 12, 2026

Gabriela Dabrowski fell just short of winning her first Wimbledon title, but her return to the women's doubles final after undergoing treatment for breast cancer was lauded by Kate, the Princess of Wales.

Kate met with Ottawa's Dabrowski and her Brazilian partner Luisa Stefani on Saturday before the women's singles final. She called Dabrowski an "inspiration" for returning to the grass-court Grand Slam final after her diagnosis in 2024.

Dabrowski announced at the end of that year that she had undergone two surgeries to treat breast cancer following an April diagnosis.

She delayed her treatment so she could compete in the 2024 Wimbledon final with former partner Erin Routliffe and the Paris Olympics, where she won mixed-doubles bronze with Félix Auger-Aliassime.

LONDON (AP) — Linda Noskova is the latest in a long line of Czech women to win Wimbledon.

The 21-year-old Noskova recovered from a second-set meltdown in which she wasted five match points to overcome Karolina Muchova 6-2, 5-7, 6-3 in an all-Czech final on Saturday for her first Grand Slam trophy.

When Noskova finally won it with a service winner on her sixth match point, she covered her face and dropped down to the grass on her back.

Noskova became the third Czech woman in four years to win the grass-court major, after Marketa Vondrousova in 2023 and Barbora Krejcikova in 2024.

WIMBLEDON - Ottawa's Gabriela Dabrowski and Brazil's Luisa Stefani advanced to the women's doubles final at Wimbledon with a 7-5, 6-3 win over Japan's Shuko Aoyama and Taiwan's En-shuo Liang on Friday.

Dabrowski and Stefani, the second seeds, have yet to lose a set at the grass-court Grand Slam.

Aoyama and Liang, seeded 13th at the All England Club, were an even match for Dabrowski and Stefani to start the contest until failing to defend the only break point of the first set in the final game.

Dabrowski and Stefani, who didn't face a break point, earned another crucial break to go up 5-3 in the second set, then forced their opponents into an error to convert their first match point.

LONDON (AP) — If there were any lingering questions over Jannik Sinner’s physical status after his meltdown at the French Open, they should be answered now.

Sinner blasted his way past seven-time champion Novak Djokovic 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 on Friday to reach the Wimbledon final — showing off the kind of dominance he displayed before that second-round defeat in Paris.

“I knew mentally," Sinner said, “that today I had to raise my level, which I’ve done.”

For the 39-year-old Djokovic, it marked another chance missed at adding to his record total of 24 Grand Slam singles titles.

LONDON (AP) — Coco Gauff had just the shot she was looking for.

Seven years after her breakthrough at Wimbledon, the American player was on the verge of reaching her first final at the All England Club.

All she needed to do was execute what appeared to be a manageable put-away on her first match point.

The thing is, it's never that simple in a Grand Slam semifinal, especially toward the end of a decisive super tiebreaker on Centre Court — the sport's most hallowed venue.

MONTREAL - The National Bank Open expects to welcome nearly all of the biggest stars in men's tennis one year after several top players pulled out of the ATP Masters 1000 tournament.

World No. 1 Jannik Sinner and 24-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic headline the 96-player entry list for this summer's event.

Tennis Canada said 71 of the ATP Tour's top 72 players have entered the Aug. 1-13 tournament at IGA Stadium, with one notable absentee.

Seven-time Grand Slam champion Carlos Alcaraz will not travel to Montreal as he continues recovering from a right wrist injury suffered in April that forced him to miss the French Open and Wimbledon.

They broke Piter and Siskova four times on nine chances in a match that was wrapped up in just under an hour.

TORONTO - Canada's Victoria Mboko has withdrawn from the National Bank Open due to a knee injury, Tennis Canada said Tuesday.

The 2025 tournament champion was hurt last month in a match against Czechia’s Karolina Pliskova at the HSBC Championships in London. The world No. 10 from Burlington, Ont., said she injured the medial collateral ligament in her left knee and would miss the rest of the grass-court season. 

Now her absence will extend to part of the North American hardcourt season as well and prevent the 19-year-old from trying to defend the title she won last year in Montreal.

"Some tournaments mean a little more than others," Mboko said. "But the National Bank Open means everything to me. Not being able to play at home this summer in front of the people I love and with the support of the Toronto crowd is deeply disappointing as it has been something I've been looking so much forward to."

WIMBLEDON - Canada's Félix Auger-Aliassime defeated Spain's Alejandro Davidovich Fokina 6-7 (4), 7-6 (6), 6-3, 6-7 (2), 6-1 to advance to the quarterfinals at Wimbledon on Sunday.

The third-seeded Auger-Aliassime was ahead 4-2 in the fourth set before squandering the lead and being pushed to a fifth set by the 22nd-seeded Spaniard.

Auger-Aliassime will next face seventh-seeded Novak Djokovic, who defeated Roman Safiullin for a record 106th career victory at Wimbledon, on Tuesday. Auger-Aliassime is 1-1 against Djokovic, a 24-time Grand Slam champion.

LONDON (AP) — In a matchup of two of the hardest hitters on tour, Naomi Osaka outslugged top-ranked Aryna Sabalenka 6-2, 7-6 (2) to reach the Wimbledon quarterfinals for the first time on Sunday.

Sabalenka had beaten Osaka in all three of her previous matches with Osaka this year — including at the same stage of the French Open last month.

But this time Sabalenka couldn’t handle Osaka’s pace and flat groundstrokes, which had an even bigger impact than usual as her balls flew through the air faster on the warmest day of the tournament so far.

The temperature for the match on Centre Court reached 28 degrees Celsius (82 Fahrenheit).
