Jannik Sinner, winner of the Australian Open is aiming for his second Grand Slam title.
Jannik Sinner secured a hard-fought victory over Matteo Berrettini in a thrilling match at Wimbledon. Sinner prevailed 7-6 (7-3), 7-6 (7-4), 2-6, 7-6 (7-4) in a closely contested battle that ended just before the All England Club’s 23:00 BST curfew. In 2021, Berrettini reached the Wimbledon final and was Italy’s top player before encountering a formidable challenge from his compatriot. Despite their friendship and shared Davis Cup experiences, Berrettini acknowledged the competitive nature of their recent match, highlighting the intensity of their rivalry on the court.
Despite Berrettini’s formidable serve, evidenced by 28 aces compared to Sinner’s 10, it was the younger Italian who controlled crucial tie-breaks. Sinner’s resilience after dropping the third set demonstrated his determination, clinching victory after three hours and 42 minutes. Reflecting on the match, Jannik Sinner praised both players’ high-level performance and thanked the late-night crowd for their support. He now looks ahead to facing Miomir Kecmanovic in the next round.
In another match, defending champion Carlos Alcaraz delivered an impressive performance, defeating Aleksandar Vukic 7-6 (7-5), 6-2, 6-2 on Court One. Alcaraz, buoyed by his recent success at the French Open, expressed profound satisfaction with his performance at Wimbledon, particularly after a convincing victory over Aleksandar Vukic. He eagerly anticipates a tough and competitive match against Frances Tiafoe in the upcoming third round, aiming to continue his impressive form and advance further in the tournament.
