Jannik Sinner: fluent debut at Wimbledon

Fluent debut for Jannik Sinner at Wimbledon. The South Tyrolean tennis player defeated Argentina’s Juan Manuel Cerundolo in three sets with a triple 6-2 after an hour and a half of play.

A rocket start by the Italian immediately put a match that was never in dispute on the downhill slope. Sinner, dominant on serve and effective in response, had no problem regulating the Argentine, who seemed to lack weapons to put the Italian tennis number one in trouble. In the second round there will be another Argentine for Jannik: Diego Schwartzman, who beat Serbia’s Miomir Kecmanovic in three sets.

Novak Djokovic is the active tennis player with the most number of Wimbledon men’s singles tournaments won: seven, one less than Switzerland’s Roger Federer, who recently retired after a career full of satisfaction. The Serbian ace triumphed on London’s grass in the 2011, 2014, 2015, 2018, 2019, 2021, and 2022 editions: in last year’s final he got the better of Nick Kyrgios, who forfeited and did not participate in the tournament in 2023, in four sets.
