Sinner did not look back then; in the third round he dismantled American Jenson Brooksby 6-4, 6-3, 6-4 without facing serious trouble. In his Round of 16 matchup on Centre Court, the Italian superstar weathered a net-rushing barrage from Japanese qualifier Shintaro Mochizuki, booking his spot in today’s quarterfinal with a 6-3, 7-6, 6-3 victory.

He followed that up by breaking grass records in a marathon second-round encounter, hitting a spectacular 45 aces to outlast American Brandon Nakashima 4-6, 7-6, 7-6, 6-7, 7-6.
