Wimbledon: Sinner Overcomes Borges In Straight Sets, Breaks Italian Grand Slam Record
Italian Grand Slam: Defending champion Jannik Sinner produced a much-improved display to move into the third round of Wimbledon, defeating Portugal's Nuno Borges 7-6(4), 7-6(2), 6-4 on Centre Court and setting up a clash with American Jenson Brooksby.
After being pushed to five sets by Miomir Kecmanovic in his opening match, the World No. 1 showed a much stronger performance on Wednesday. He raised his game in the key moments, breaking back when Borges served for the second set at 5-4. He finished the match in two hours and 32 minutes.
This win was important beyond Wimbledon. It marked Sinner's 95th Grand Slam main-draw win, moving him past Nicola Pietrangeli for the most Grand Slam match wins by an Italian player.
