The number one in the world is not yet in his best condition: “Let’s see if I’ve shaken off the rust, but there are a couple of things I need to improve on.” He faces Janson Brooksby in the third round on Friday
Jannik Sinner qualifies for the third round of the Wimbledon tournament thanks to the victory over the Portuguese Nuno Borges in three sets (7-6, 7-6, 6-3) but the number one in the world He’s not in his best condition yet and after the great battle with Kezmanovic in the first round won only in the fifth set, the second round with the Portuguese was also not easy despite the difference in technical values being enormous. But Sinner is still unable to express it fully, he makes too many gratuitous errors and if the serve continues to be his best ally, it is in return games that the South Tyrolean struggles. As demonstrated by the fact that throughout the match Sinner broke Borges’ serve only once, in the third set, then closing the match thanks to the serve with which he consolidated the advantage. But in the first two sets there was an unexpected balance between the two which was broken only in the tie-break to which the Portuguese forced Sinner twice.
“I have to improve”
Sinner knows perfectly well that he still has to improve to reach his best form” I’m happy. The second set was very tough. In the first two sets we served very well and there weren’t many rallies. I’m very happy to have won, now I have two successes and we’ll see what happens. I’m happy with the result, there are a couple of things to improve but I’m happy. Let’s see if I got the rust off. I felt especially in the first game that I was missing something. This one was tight and matches like this help me a little. We have to improvetomorrow is a day of rest that we have to take advantage of because yesterday I didn’t do much”. The long stop after Paris and the fact that Sinner trained little on grass, giving up playing the preparatory tournaments for Wimbledon, are the basis of the delay in his condition on a surface that is always very particular and on which one plays practically only two weeks a year. Sinner will have to grow and usually in Slams he always has some difficulties at the start of the tournament and then takes off in the second week when the London grass becomes less difficult to tame. Friday awaits him Janson Brooksby with which he won the only previous one five years ago.
