Jannik Sinner is in the round of 16 of Wimbledon . In the last match of the day on the central court of the All England Club, the South Tyrolean easily disposed of the Serbian Kecmanovic, defeated with a score of 6-1, 6-4, 6-2 in just over an hour and a half , conceding just one break point in the last game of the match.
What we needed, after the hard battle with his friend Matteo Berrettini. Jannik immediately goes ahead 5-0 and closes the first set in 22 minutes, with the break in the ninth game being decisive in the second set. In the third and final set the world number 1 immediately puts his head forward by breaking serve from the Serbian and then all.
On Sunday in the round of 16 Sinner will face the winner of the match between Shelton and Shapovalov (both left-handed), a match suspended due to the bad weather that hit London, not allowing the program to run smoothly on the side courts. The other Italian involved in the third round today, Fabio Fognini, was interrupted while leading 2 sets to 1 (and down 5-4 without a break in the third) over the Spaniard Bautista Agut .
The one who took a big risk today was Alcaraz, who needed five sets and almost 4 hours of fighting to overcome the American Tiafoe: 5-7, 6-2, 4-6, 7-6, 6-2.
Also in the women's draw there is an Italian in the round of 16: Jasmine Paolini defeated the Canadian Bianca Andreescu 7-6, 6-1 and will face the American Madison Keys on Sunday .
