Jannik Sinner backed up his five-set opening-round win by defeating Nuno Borges 7-6, 7-6, 6-4 to reach the third round at Wimbledon. After surviving a tough test against Miomir Kecmanovic in the first round, the defending champion delivered a much more composed performance.
The Italian has quickly rediscovered his rhythm after the disappointment of Roland Garros, where he squandered a two-set lead and a 5-1 advantage in the third set. He has now won nine consecutive matches at Wimbledon and continues to build momentum in his title defence.
Sinner has enjoyed another outstanding season, highlighted by ATP Masters 1000 titles at Indian Wells, Miami, Monte Carlo, Madrid and Rome, along with a semifinal appearance at the Australian Open. Those results have reinforced his position as the world No. 1.
Sinner holds a perfect 4-0 record in third-round matches at Wimbledon, converting each appearance into at least the fourth round. Overall, he owns an outstanding 19-0 career record in third-round matches at Grand Slams.
