World No.1 Jannik Sinner began his Wimbledon campaign with a commanding 6-4, 6-3, 6-0 victory against fellow Italian Luca Nardi on No.1 Court, despite the sweltering heat that left spectators fanning themselves throughout the match. The win marked a strong reset for Sinner after recent challenges, including his heartbreaking loss to Carlos Alcaraz in the Roland-Garros final where he missed three championship points, and an unexpected early defeat to Alexander Bublik in Halle.
Ahead of Wimbledon, Sinner refreshed his team by parting ways with his trainer Marco Panichi and physiotherapist Ulises Badio. However, he remained composed, viewing Wimbledon as “a new tournament with new chances and a new challenge.” His powerful and precise play, particularly on serve, overwhelmed Nardi, who could not match Sinner’s aggression and form. Sinner expressed his joy playing at Wimbledon, saying, “If you don’t enjoy playing on this court, I don’t know where you will enjoy.”
