Sinner's relentless march persists in Wimbledon tournament.
In the ongoing Wimbledon 2025 tournament, Jannik Sinner, the current world No. 1, is making history with an exceptional performance in the men's singles event. Sinner has stormed into the Round of 16, dropping only 17 games across his first three matches, breaking a record previously held by Roger Federer in 2004[1][4].
Sinner's dominance is evident in his unbroken serve and remarkable precision, power, and composure on grass. He has not lost a single set and has yet to be broken on serve[1]. His match-by-match breakdown includes victories against Luca Nardi, Aleksandar Vukic, and Pedro Martinez, with game losses totalling 5, 5, and 5 respectively[1].
Sinner's current form is impressive, averaging 5.66 games lost per match, just above Björn Borg’s historic Roland Garros average[4]. If both Sinner and Novak Djokovic continue progressing, they could potentially face each other in the semifinals[2][3].
In contrast, the women's singles draw at Wimbledon 2025 has seen a different narrative. The provided sources do not offer detailed updates on specific women’s players’ performances, nor do they compare the women’s favorites’ routes to the later rounds[2]. However, the defeat of Jelena Rybakina, the world number 11 and a finalist at Wimbledon last year, by Clara Tauson has reduced the number of top-10 players in the women's singles draw to one[3].
The table below provides a comparative overview of Jannik Sinner’s performance and the women’s favorites’ progression (highlights):
| Category | Jannik Sinner (Men’s) | Women’s Favorites (General) | |---------------------------|----------------------------------|---------------------------------------| | Games Lost (R16) | 17 (record for Open Era) | Not specified (no record in results) | | Sets Lost | 0 | Not specified | | Serve Broken | 0 (not broken yet) | Not specified | | Opponent Difficulty | Minimal, very clinical | Often variable, depends on opponent | | Notable Milestone | Surpassed Federer’s 19-game mark | Not applicable (per available info) |
As the tournament progresses, Sinner's record-breaking run continues to captivate tennis enthusiasts worldwide. His journey to potentially claim the Wimbledon title remains one of the most anticipated storylines of the tournament.
