Italian star Jannik Sinner continued his flawless run at Wimbledon 2025, reaching the fourth round without dropping a set after dismantling American Tommy Paul 6-3, 6-4, 7-6(3) on Court 1. The World No. 1 has looked in supreme touch so far, executing aggressive baseline play with near perfection as he eyes his maiden Wimbledon crown.
Sinner’s clinical display against Paul
Facing his first seeded opponent of the tournament, Sinner maintained high first-serve percentages and produced 41 winners to Paul’s 26. While the American tried varying his pace and approaching the net frequently, Sinner’s passing shots and precise returns kept him at bay.
The Italian sealed the match in just under 2 hours and 20 minutes, winning the third-set tiebreak with ease. His composure on critical points and ability to construct rallies on grass have drawn praise from pundits and former champions.
