Jannik Sinner makes an impressive Wimbledon debut. The world number one easily defeats his compatriot Luca Nardi in the first round of the Italian derby, winning 6-4 6-3 6-0 and advancing to the second round, where he will face Australian Aleksandar Vukic, who defeated Taiwanese Tseng Chun Hsin. A one-sided match, at least in the partials, with some moments of equilibrium in the initial phase. Sinner faced a combative Nardi in the initial set, who was adept at maintaining the exchange and responding with aggression. After some matched games, the South Tyrolean broke through at 5-4, capitalizing on his opponent's hesitation. In the second set, Sinner appeared more determined and precise, particularly with his serve. The immediate break at the start determined the course of the set, forcing Nardi to chase. Despite some strong performance and a more proactive mentality, the Pesaro player lost the set 6-3. Sinner dominated the third set, scoring two consecutive breaks and a powerful serve bringing him quickly to 5-0. Another perfect service game sealed the match with an elegant 6-0, capping off an outstanding performance. Sinner regains his confidence and brilliance on the London grass after the setback in Halle, where he exited in the round of 16. Next up: round two against Vukic, whom Sinner has already beaten twice in his career.
