SportTennisAlexander ZverevAlexander Zverev was battling against Jannik Sinner on Centre Court in the men's singles final at Wimbledon, sparking injury concerns in one of tennis' biggest matches19:01, 12 Jul 2026Updated 19:13, 12 Jul 2026Alexander Zverev sparked injury concerns when he slipped to the turf holding his knee in pain during the Wimbledon men's singles final on Sunday evening. The German was deep into a third set against Jannik Sinner for the coveted Grand Slam title when disaster struck.‌With Zverev taking the first set 7-6 and Sinner storming the second with the same scoreline, the two men were tied at 3-3 in the third; advantage Sacha. After three returns from Sinner, the ball made its way to Zverev's right, with the 29-year-old slipping slightly as he made it to the shot.‌However, with the next return going to Zverev's other side, he looked to have slipped again once more, hyperextending his right knee in the process. The ATP No. 3 was then spotted clutching his right knee in pain, as a shocked Sinner ran over to his side of the court to check up on his opponent in a showing of sportsmanship.‌BBC commentator Andrew Castle was quick to ponder what had caused the issue in Zverev's knee, as he asked: "Is that an impact?" before Andre Agassi replied: "That's a hyperextension, when that happens you're laying on the ground hoping the pain doesn't indicate it's something you're not going to recover from."While Zverev was ultimately able to continue without calling the trainer, he seemed to be struggling in-part, with Agassi claiming that since the slip, he had missed more first serves than he had made.‌And his frustrations were on full display when he lost the eighth game in the first set, throwing his racket in disappointment in an uncharacteristic showing. During the break, meanwhile Todd Woodbridge explained what he had seen from Zverev as he watched on from the stands of Centre Court.He explained: "Obviously, I'm very close to it at that moment. But look, when he rolled over on his back, he looked up to Jannik and said, 'I'm fine, I'm okay.' It was a turning point in the momentum and a change of rhythm as much it is as an injury I think.There will be more to follow on this breaking news story and Mirror Sport will bring you the very latest updates, pictures and video as soon as possible.Article continues belowPlease check back regularly for updates on this developing story.Follow us on Google News, Flipboard, Apple News, Twitter, Facebook or visit The Mirror homepage.Choose Daily Mirror as a 'Preferred Source' on Google News for quick access to the news you value.‌Jannik SinnerAlexander ZverevWimbledonBBC
