World No. 1 Jannik Sinner continues his Wimbledon march on Centre Court, seeking to maintain dominance against Australia’s Aleksandar Vukic, who’s riding high after a gritty first-round victory.
Sinner showcased powerful groundstrokes and laser-sharp focus in his first-round, straight-set win over Nardi, affirming his status as a serious title contender.
Vukic arrives fresh off a tight three-set triumph over a crafty veteran, proving he can thrive under pressure.
Though outside the top 80, the 29-year-old serves well and stays solid from the baseline — tough enough to slip past bigger names earlier in Wimbledon.
Sinner vs. Vukic Head-to-Head
Sinner leads their head-to-head 2–0, with both victories coming on hard courts. He fell to Alexander Bublik on grass last month in Halle in the round of 16, suggesting he may have struggled in the transition from clay to grass after Roland Garros.
The Australian is yet to drop a set in the tournament and has won over 80% of his service points on grass over his career, demonstrating impressive efficiency on his serve when it counts.
What to Watch
Early pressure: Vukic thrives on stage; if he holds serve confidently early, he could force nerves in Sinner.
Grass adaptation: Sinner’s footwork has been elite — but if Vukic can mix slices and resets, he’s capable of disrupting rhythms.
Return battle: Sinner’s return is also elite, but if Vukic serves aggressively, it’ll force Sinner to work harder to find his groove.
Prediction
Sinner in straight sets. His relentless power and precision should eventually wear down Vukic. Expect Sinner to close the match by dominating from the baseline and seizing control in the second service game of each set.
