I'm good, how are you?

**John Silk** (2:17)
I am good.
ATP Weekly, we will, obviously there's only one burning thing to talk about really. And I say burning in the sense that we all knew this was gonna happen. Yannick Sinner is the Wimbledon Champion for the second consecutive year. He picks up a fifth Grand Slam title. He beats Alexander Zverev in the final 6-7, 7-6, 6-3, 6-4. Amanda, just give us your initial face value thoughts before we delve into this.

**Amanda** (2:49)
Yeah, I mean, you know, you say it was obvious that this would happen, and I do agree with you, but we also saw, you know, at the French Open, things can get a little crazy. So this Grand Slam definitely did not get that crazy, which was good for Sinner. And yeah, I mean, today, I think it was just about figuring out how to break Zverev's serve, and once he did that, he kind of cruised through the rest of it.

**John Silk** (3:13)
Yeah, it seemed like that was definitely the case. I mean, no breaks until four, three in the third. So, you know, that's what, as 19 holds of serve before we even had, you know, any real looks, and I believe there was only one look at a break point before that, from, for Janek. So it was very sub-orientated as it usually is on grass.
But, you know, this whole rivalry is now a 10-4 sinner, they're head-to-head. Sinners won the last nine meetings. So that's nine in a row, and he's dropped. This was the second set that he dropped, I think, since Cincinnati in 24 You know, when you saw Zverev take the first today, was there any real sense of overwhelming belief that he could actually, you know, pull it off?

**Amanda** (4:19)
Honestly, I thought maybe. I mean, this was very early in the morning for me when the first set happened. So I was like, what is even going on right now? But, you know, as the second set was going on, I was like, well, if the center can't break and we just go to tie breaks, then who knows what will happen. But, you know, that's why center is so great, is because he can figure these things out mid-match. So there was never a point where I was like, oh, Zverev is definitely going to win. But there was a point where I thought, maybe if he keeps this up, there's a chance.
