Defending champion Jannik Sinner advanced at Wimbledon with a straight-sets victory over Shintaro Mochizuki, continuing his title defense.
Sinner, the Italian world No. 1, has consolidated form on grass after winning the 2024 title and carrying momentum through subsequent seasons. Mochizuki, a Japanese qualifier, offered early resistance before the champion pulled away.
Sinner’s groundstroke depth and movement have translated effectively to Wimbledon despite his baseline-oriented reputation. Analysts view him as the favorite in his half of the draw.
The win keeps Sinner on course for a potential clash with other top seeds in the tournament’s second week.
