Overview
- Jannik Sinner defeated Miomir Kecmanovic 4-6, 6-3, 6-7, 6-2, 6-3 in a roughly three-and-a-half-hour match to advance at Wimbledon.
- He slipped in the third set and lost part of a toenail that bled through his shoe, but he continued playing and later said he was fine and that it was "just a toenail."
- Sinner produced 31 aces, an unusually high serving total that helped him win short points on Centre Court and shift momentum in the fourth and fifth sets.
- The victory improved his record in decisive fifth sets to 7–11 and underscored his ability to raise his level after losing the opening set and a third-set tiebreak.
- Sinner will face Nuno Borges in the next round, and fellow Italians Luciano Darderi and Elisabetta Cocciretto were both eliminated in their opening matches.
