Before the first round of Wimbledon 2025, Jannik Sinner and Luca Nardi have never met at ATP level. This may be the reason for the first set to take place quite tense, when the No. 1 player in the world needs time to “catch” the opponent's gameplay.
In the first 9 games, both players keep the game successfully. The turning point came in game 10, when Sinner is leading 5-4. He won a spectacular break after a dangerous hand. This set score is 6-4 in favor of the No. 1 seed.
The game then completely leaned to Sinner. He soon broke Nardi's serve game right on the second set of set 2, then easily kept the game to serve the serve to overtake the lead 3-0. Nardi almost had no chance to return, thereby accepting to lose 3-6.
The match in set 3 is even more different. Sinner continuously won two breaks to lead 4-0 while Nardi was still unable to find the pace of competition. The 21-year-old player continues to make mistakes, losing white in the next serve games before collapsing 0-6 in the decision set.
In the end, Sinner defeated Nardi with a score of 6-4, 6-3, 6-1 to officially win tickets to the second round of the men's Wimbledon 2025. Earlier, Vukic had just surpassed Tseng Chun-Hsin with a score of 6-3, 6-4, 4-6, 7-6 (5).
At the age of 23, Sinner is at the peak of his form when he won 3 of the 6 nearest Grand Slam titles. With the victory over Nardi in the opening round of Wimbledon this year, he also raised a series of matches against fellow tennis players to 14 at the ATP Tour level.
