After Jannik Sinner: After Jannik Sinner defeated Alexander Zverev to win his second consecutive Wimbledon crown, icons from inside and outside the sport, including Carlos Alcaraz, Sachin Tendulkar, Lindsey Vonn, Rod Laver and more, showered praises on the Italian's triumph.

Sinner repelled the three-hour, 46-minute all-out attack from Alexander Zverev to win 6-7(7), 7-6(2), 6-3, 6-4. With his title triumph, he also earned his 100th Grand Slam match win, becoming the eighth active player to reach the 100-major-wins milestone, joining Novak Djokovic (409), Stan Wawrinka (160), Marin Cilic (143), Zverev (131), Gael Monfils (130), Kei Nishikori (104) and Grigor Dimitrov (103).

Sinner’s first match win at a major was at the 2020 Australian Open against Max Purcell. Earlier this fortnight, he set the record for most major men’s singles wins by an Italian, doing so by beating Nuno Borges in the second round for his 95th Slam victory.
