Jannik Sinner, current world number one, continues his overwhelming performance at Wimbledon, demonstrating a superlative level. In his most recent match, Sinner defeated Pedro Martínez with a resounding 6-1, 6-3, 6-1, securing his place in the fourth round of the tournament. Despite the fact that Martinez faced physical problems in his shoulder, which affected his serve, Sinner maintained absolute dominance. The Italian tennis player has conceded only 17 games so far in the tournament, an achievement that sets him apart from the best.
“We all saw he was struggling,” commented Sinner, adding about his own performance: “The first week couldn’t have been better.”
Jannik SinnerSinner has kept his serve intact in the first three matches, and the number of games conceded is the lowest for a number one seed at Wimbledon in the Open era, which began in 1968. The Italian showed great solidity, without showing signs of weakness after his recent defeat in the Roland Garros final against Carlos Alcaraz. In the match against Martinez, Sinner took a 5-0 lead in just 20 minutes. During that stretch, Martinez only managed one winning point, while Sinner accumulated 10. Martínez requested medical assistance during the match, receiving a massage on his right shoulder. His serve was affected, reaching speeds of up to 76 mph, considerably lower than Sinner’s 133 mph. The only moment of tension in the match occurred in the second set, when Martínez had four break opportunities, but Sinner remained firm and nullified them, remaining calm at all times. Sinner, who has been champion of the Australian Open twice and the US Open, as well as a semi-finalist at Wimbledon 2023, will face Grigor Dimitrov or Sebastian Ofner in the next round, whose match was interrupted by rain. In other results of the day, Flavio Cobolli, world number 22, achieved his first qualification to the round of 16 of a Grand Slam tournament, after defeating Jakub Mensik by 6-2, 6-4, 6-2.
