Djokovic Dominates as Sinner and Sabalenka Survive Tough Tests at Wimbledon

Djokovic's Centre Court masterclass boosts his bid for a record 25th major.

Overview

  • Novak Djokovic produced a clinical 6-3, 6-4, 6-2 win over Stefanos Tsitsipas on Wednesday to reach the third round and reinforce his pursuit of a 25th Grand Slam.
  • Defending champion Jannik Sinner advanced to the last 32 with a 7-6, 7-6, 6-4 victory over Nuno Borges but acknowledged rust and limited grass match practice after an earlier five-set opener.
  • World number one Aryna Sabalenka fought back from 5-2 down in the second set to beat McCartney Kessler 6-1, 7-6 and now faces Jelena Ostapenko in round three.
  • Serena Williams' singles comeback ended in a first-round loss to Maya Joint and a reported knee issue has put her planned doubles appearance with Venus in doubt.
  • Early shocks and fitness questions have left the draw fluid, shown by Mirra Andreeva's surprise defeat to Barbora Krejcikova and Amanda Anisimova's win while saying a short break left her feeling refreshed.
