Jannik Sinner Beats Matteo Berrettini to Reach Third Round at Wimbledon

Italian tennis star Jannik Sinner secured a spot in the third round of Wimbledon by defeating his compatriot Matteo Berrettini in a thrilling match. Sinner won with scores of 7-6(3), 7-6(4), 2-6, 7-6(4) in a match that lasted three hours and 45 minutes.

Both players played aggressively from the baseline, but Sinner managed to capitalize on key backhand errors from Berrettini. After the match, Sinner said, “First of all we are very good friends. We played Davis Cup together and we practise together, so it is very very tough we had to face in the second round in such an important tournament. Today was a very high-level match. In three tie-breaks I got a little bit lucky and I take it for today.”

Sinner will face Miomir Kecmanovic in the third round, who defeated Tallon Griekspoor in a five-set match.

In other matches, Russian player Daniil Medvedev overcame Alexandre Muller with scores of 6-7(3), 7-6(4), 6-4, 7-5. Medvedev said, “It was a very tough, physical match. Alex played well and some moments in the match were very tough to stay in touch with him. I was losing by one set and a break. On grass that is never easy, but I managed to stay solid, always stay in the match and try to fight. Definitely happy with the win. I should have played much better, but it is okay. When you win, there is a next round to try to do better.”

Defending champion Carlos Alcaraz of Spain also advanced to the next round by defeating Australian Alexander Vukic in straight sets, 7-6(5), 6-2, 6-2. Alcaraz said, “I am really happy about my performance. I think the first set was the key. He served for the set and I broke and after I played a really good tie-break. I played a really high level in the second and third sets, so I am really happy about it.”
