Sinner Cruises Into Wimbledon Fourth Round but Says He Is Not at Peak

Keeping his title defence alive, the victory raises new questions about his consistency, forehand reliability and fitness in forecast heat.

Overview

  • Jannik Sinner beat Jenson Brooksby 6-4, 6-3, 6-4 to reach the fourth round at Wimbledon and notch his 40th match win of the season.
  • Sinner said he is still “trying to find [his] way in,” describing the win as a small step forward rather than proof he has returned to top form.
  • Match stats showed a powerful serve with 13 aces and two double faults, but Sinner also made 26 unforced errors and was broken twice, with his forehand identified as a recurring weakness.
  • He will face Shintaro Mochizuki next, a qualifier who says he expects Sinner to play very fast and plans to use low balls and net approaches to disrupt him.
  • Coverage notes context that matters to his campaign: a recent collapse at Roland Garros followed by medical tests in Milan that found no abnormalities, an adjusted grass preparation, and forecasts for a UK heatwave that could test his stamina.
