Jannik Sinner def. Nuno Borges 7(7)-6(4), 7(7)-6(2), 6-4 — Wimbledon 2026 R64

Match recap

Jannik Sinner defeated Nuno Borges 7(7)-6(4), 7(7)-6(2), 6-4 in the R64 of the Wimbledon 2026.

Two tiebreaks, then daylight. Jannik Sinner needed 7-6(4), 7-6(2) to keep Nuno Borges at arm's length, and the margin that finally opened was behind the second delivery — Sinner won 58% of his second-serve points to Borges' 35%, a 23-point gap that told in the third set. The set turned in a three-game exchange of breaks to open it: Sinner broke in game one, Borges answered in game two, Sinner broke again in game three and held from there. Twenty-two aces to six carried the first two sets to breakers; the return game decided the rest, in their first career meeting and first on grass.
