LONDRA. At times it seemed more like a training session than a match valid for the Wimbledon round of 16. After two very demanding initial rounds, Jannik Sinner eliminated the obstacle Kecmanovic with impressive ease, beating him in three sets (6-1, 6-4, 6-2), reaching the round of 16.
The world number 1 always appeared to be in total control of the match and left very little to his opponent.
Jannik, under the eyes of actor Dustin Hoffman, star in the stands on the main court, starts off like a rocket: very focused, implacable, he leaves practically nothing to his opponent and scores a double break at the start. He quickly takes the lead to 5-0 and closes the set with a score of 6-1. In the first set there is no contest. It took just 21 minutes.
The second set starts in a more balanced way, with Kecmanovic managing to hold serve this time, saving a break point in the third game. It continues like this until the ninth game, when Jannik, coming back from 15-40, wins the break, taking it to 5-4 and serving for the set. No problem in closing on 6-4. Jannik thus takes a 2-0 lead.
Jannik appears to be in total control of the match and even seems to allow himself a few practice shots to test his game.
The third set opens in the best possible way, with an immediate break and the possibility of running away immediately on 2-0. An opportunity that the number 1 in the world does not miss. Then comes the second break: Sinner goes up 4-1 hammering the unfortunate Kecmanovic from the baseline.
The South Tyrolean remains relentless in his service and flies to 5-1. In the end he closes 6-2, case over, we go to the eighth finals.
