Alexander Zverev may have finished competing at Wimbledon 2026, but he managed to entertain the Center Court crowd with some funny words after the final.Shortly after receiving the championship, the German joked about his one-sided rivalry with Jannik Sinner, leaving everyone in the audience laughing.“First of all, Jannik, I don’t love you anymore,” Zverev said with a smile.Then he explained the reason for the joke.“I’ve lost to you five times in a row.”The lighthearted words drew loud laughs from the crowd before Zverev praised the world No. 1 for some excellent work.“We congratulate Jannik. He showed again why he is the best player in the world,” he added.
