Jannik Sinner stayed on collision course to face Carlos Alcaraz at Wimbledon after a 6-2, 6-4, 7-6 (9) victory over Ben Shelton to reach the quarter-finals
Jannik Sinner’s extraordinary 12-month heater since last year’s Wimbledon semi-final loss – winning a half-dozen ATP titles, helping Italy to a first Davis Cup win in 47 years, capturingand becoming the first Italian to top the ATP’s world rankings – has been attributed to a rebuilt serve and the soaring confidence it has produced.
“A very tough match, especially the third set,” said Sinner, who will play either the Russian Daniil Medvedev or Bulgaria’s Grigor Dimitrov next. “These kind of matches, they can go very long. I’m very happy to close it in three.”
