Prior to dethroning Novak Djokovic at the top of the world rankings earlier in June, Italy’s Sinner won his maiden Grand Slam at the Australian Open in January.
With a 7-6 (10-8) 7-6 (7-2) victory over Hurkacz of Poland, with whom he earlier played doubles in Germany, he won his maiden grass-court championship.
Sinner has only dropped three sets this year, losing to Stefanos Tsitsipas in Monte Carlo and twice to Carlos Alcaraz in the French Open and Indian Wells.
When Wimbledon begins on July 1st, he will be the top seed and hopes to improve on his semi-final performance from last year.
All I can think about is Wimbledon. I played really terrific tennis last year and made it to the semifinals, so let’s see what’s in store for me this year,” the 22-year-old added.
“I must admit, I feel more assured. It goes without saying that the grass between here and Wimbledon may differ somewhat.
“But I have a week to get ready, so hopefully the tournament will go well.”
In other news, Tommy Paul defeated Lorenzo Musetti 6-1 7-6 (10-8) to win the biggest title in his career to date at Queen’s.
With the win, the American also rose to the top of his country’s men’s tennis rankings, moving up to 12th in the world rankings.
