Wimbledon: No. 1 Jannik Sinner moves into the 3rd round with a straight-set
victory over Vukic
LONDON (AP) --- Top-ranked Jannik Sinner moved into Wimbledon's third round
with a 6-1, 6-1, 6-3 victory over Aleksandar Vukic of Australia at Centre Court
on Thursday.
Sinner had 38 winners and just 11 unforced errors in the 1-hour, 40-minute
match and saved all four break points he faced.
The owner of three Grand Slam titles advanced to face 52nd-ranked Pedro
Martinez of Spain on Saturday.
Wimbledon is the only major tournament where Sinner has yet to reach a final;
he lost in the 2023 semifinals at the All England Club.
He won the Australian Open each of the past two years, won the U.S. Open last
September and was the runner-up to Carlos Alcaraz at the French Open last
month. Sinner took the first two sets in that final and held three championship
points before Alcaraz came back to win.
