No. 1 Jannik Sinner off to winning start at Wimbledon with rout of Luca Nardi
LONDON (AP) --- Top-ranked Jannik Sinner got his Wimbledon campaign off to an
ideal start by beating Luca Nardi 6-4, 6-3, 6-0 in an all-Italian matchup on
Tuesday.
The three-time Grand Slam champion, who lost a five-set French Open final to
Carlos Alcaraz, is in search of his first Wimbledon title. He was a
semifinalist at the All England Club in 2023.
"First matches are never easy so I'm very happy about my performance," he said
in his on-court interview. "It's a new tournament, new chances, new challenges.
You have one opponent at a time."
Sinner will play Aleksandar Vukic of Australia in the second round.
