Overview
- Jannik Sinner beat Nuno Borges to reach the third round of Wimbledon on Thursday, extending his title defence after a tighter first-round win over Miomir Kecmanovic.
- Andy Roddick reported that Sinner privately told Caroline Wozniacki that his forehand “is not very good right now,” noting that this account is secondhand.
- Roddick cited match analysis that Sinner has made 43 forehand unforced errors through his first two matches this year versus 14 in the same rounds last year.
- Commentators say Sinner’s serve and his willingness to keep aggressively hitting through misses have helped him win despite the forehand issues.
- Sinner is scheduled to face Jenson Brooksby in the third round on Friday and is competing after medical checks in June cleared him to return to play, shifting scrutiny from health to form.
