Jannik Sinner advances at Wimbledon 2026 despite injury concerns

World No. 1 Jannik Sinner won his Wimbledon debut in five sets, beating Serbia’s Miomir Kecmanović 4-6, 6-3, 6-7(6), 6-2, 6-3. The match was marked by a slip that caused a nail to bleed, leaving his shoe stained; Sinner told reporters he was fine and did not want to stop play. After the victory he moved into the second round to face Portugal’s Nuno Borges on Centre Court at 14:30 (Italian time). The tournament’s third‑day schedule also featured Novak Djokovic vs. Stefanos Tsitsipas and other Italian players such as Flavio Cobolli, who resumed his interrupted match. All matches were broadcast live on Sky Sport channels and streamed via Sky Go and NOW. Outside the court, Sinner’s girlfriend Laila Hasanović posted vacation photos from Saint‑Tropez, confirming she was not present at the event.
