Jannik Sinner reveals private conversation with George and Charlotte after Wimbledon win

Jannik Sinner has revealed he had a private conversation with Prince George and Princess Charlotte following his Wimbledon victory yesterday. The Italian defended his men's singles title at the All England Lawn Tennis Club on Sunday, following a commanding four-set triumph against Alexander Zverev on Centre Court. The world No1 subsequently enjoyed a meeting with the Prince and Princess of Wales, accompanied by their children George, 12, and Charlotte, 11. Catherine, who serves as patron of the All England Lawn Tennis Club, had moments earlier presented Sinner with the coveted winner's trophy in the traditional post-match ceremony – just as she had last year, following his triumph over Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz.
