Wimbledon: Sinner dominates Nardi makes second round

Top seed Jannik Sinner won against Luca Nardi 6-4, 6-3, 6-0 to move into the second round of Wimbledon at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in London on Tuesday.

The world No 1 is the first Italian in the Open Era to collect 75 Men’s Singles match wins at Grand Slam events – and the first player born since 2000.

“I’m very very happy to come back here,” said Sinner.

“It’s such a special place for me. Playing an Italian is, for us, very unfortunate . But one has to go through so I’m happy it’s me. The atmosphere is amazing as always.

“I know it’s very hot, very humid. I don’t remember the last time the weather was like this in London.”
