Jannik Sinner secured another straightforward victory, moving into the third round of Wimbledon after overcoming Australia's Aleksandar Vukic (No. 93) with a comfortable 6-1, 6-1, 6-3 win. The world No. 1 needed just over an hour and a half to seal the victory in another masterful performance from the Italian.
Sinner was dominant from the start, tallying 34 winners and only 11 unforced errors on his way to his 15th Wimbledon victory so far. The 23-year-old has already reached at least the quarterfinals in the last three editions and is now preparing to face the surprise Spaniard Pedro Martínez as he aims for the second week.
First Set
The favoritism was evident pre-match, facing a Vukic who had only once in his career achieved consecutive wins in a Grand Slam main draw. The Australian needed to maintain good serving statistics if he hoped to compete with the Italian, and he started by holding parity in the first service game, 1-1.
However, Sinner quickly warmed up and began to dominate from the baseline. The Italian swiftly pressured his opponent's serve, securing the first break in the fourth game after four opportunities. He didn't stop there; in Vukic's next service game, he needed only one chance for a second consecutive break. Sinner not only secured two consecutive breaks but also won 11 consecutive points on his serve before closing out the set 6-1.
Second Set
The differences widened from the beginning of the second set, as Sinner capitalized on the first break chance and then raced to a 2-0 lead on his serve. Vukic, who had only landed 47% of his first serves in the first set, maintained similar numbers (just 48%) and, even worse, won only 33% of his service points and 25% on return.
The Australian managed to defend his service just once in the set (to go down 1-2), but then Sinner again went on a strong run of points, winning 16 of the next 18 played. He then comfortably closed out the second set 6-1. Less than an hour had passed, and Sinner was already well on his way to securing the victory in the third set.
Third Set
Things wouldn't be quite as simple for Sinner in the third set, against an opponent who seemed to have little left to lose. Both held their serve early, and at 2-2, Vukic created a couple of break opportunities for the first time in the match. However, Sinner navigated these in the only critical moment he faced during the match, ultimately maintaining his lead.
When the Italian was leading 4-3, he secured the break that gave him the definitive advantage in the set and the chance to close out the victory on his serve. However, Vukic resisted a defeat in the final part of the match, as Sinner squandered five match points before finally securing the triumph, having been vastly superior to his opponent. The Italian advances 6-1, 6-1, 6-3 and is preparing to face Pedro Martínez, a Spaniard who recently eliminated Mariano Navone.

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Having spent weeks and weeks through the years on tour, I can say with confidence that Conchita was (is) one of the very few who realize the surprising level of maturity (and sometimes lack of) which Mirra seems to have developed in such a demanding adult world of Pro-Tennis. While at the same time reminding herself (Conchita, that is) that Mirra is still young and developing mentally and physically. The general public may forget at times, or not at all realize, these modern era young athletes do not have a 'normal' Youth. It's a major sacrifice, among countless sacrifices, these athletes must make. People who blow-off that fact are ignorant and unfair when they blurt out, "They choose fame so they have to put up with the intrusions on their lives". No, they do not.mandoist05-11-2026
- Okay... someone with a camera was EAVESDROPPING on a private conversation. Shouldn't that be the point of discussion here? Regardless of the sensationalist crap by media, Pegula (and anyone) has a right to an opinion. There used to be an expectation that private conversations were respected, regardless of 'stardom' and whatever other defensive excuses media tries to shove in our faces. Boo-hoo if feelings are hurt. BTW: Having been employed at various tourney venues, etc., I can't tell you how nasty and offensive players can be when discussing their opponents and colleagues... in "private". Well, I could, but won't. I also challenge anyone to deny what Jessica said is false.mandoist05-11-2026
