Jannik Sinner has easily surpassed Aleksandar Vukic with an overwhelming victory in three sets. It only takes 55 minutes for the Italian player to lead two sets. Although Vukic parted in Set Ba, all efforts were too late.
In the end, Sinner closed the neat match with a score of 6-1, 6-1, 6-3 after only 100 minutes of play. The reigning Australian champion has officially put his name in this year's Wimbledon's third round, where he will face Pedro Martinez. The Spanish player had previously defeated Mariano Navone with a score of 7-5, 7-5, 7-6 (8-6).
This is Sinner's second consecutive overwhelming performance at Wimbledon this year. This is a clear evidence that he is a heavy candidate for the championship, especially in the context of many top seeds soon left the game. Jack Draper is the latest name on that list, after the defeat to former runner -up Marin Cilic in the field. Earlier, the Zverev, Musetti or Holger Rune also stopped.
After the victory over Vukic, Sinner shared about learning from Novak Djokovic, and affirmed that the Serbian player was his biggest model: “I feel Novak has improved the serve a lot.
The way Novak moves is also more confident than me on the pitch, and that comes from the experience he has more than me. Djokovic plays more diverse, and I can be faster. But in another aspect, I was as stable as him.
There are similarities between us. Novak gives me a lot of things to learn, to build my own play based on his inspiration. I always observe some players to see what I can learn from them, and Novak is definitely the one I admire the most. ”
