3 articles · Updated · The Associated Press · Jul 12

Sunday’s Wimbledon final pits defending champion Jannik Sinner against French Open winner Alexander Zverev in a top-two-seed showdown on Centre Court.
No. 1 Sinner is chasing a fifth Grand Slam title and a rebound from his second-round French Open exit, where he faded in Paris heat.
Sinner enters with a dominant head-to-head edge, having won his last nine matches against Zverev and the past 14 sets.
Zverev is trying to win his second major immediately after his first — a feat no man has achieved in the professional era since 1968.
Clear skies and an 82F (28C) forecast are set for the 4 p.m. local start in London.
