Jannik Sinner is really struggling in his debut at Wimbledon 2026 live against Miomir Kecmanovic. After losing the first set, the world number 1 has reacted in the second, but in the third set, he suffered a hard fall that silenced the Centre Court of the tournament, as the worst was feared.
During the first day of Wimbledon, there have been numerous slips and retirements, and in Sinner's case, it was a misstep by Kecmanovic that caused the Italian to slip, resulting in an ugly gesture. The faces of his team (and the entire crowd) were grim, and the chair umpire quickly came down to check on Jannik, who was complaining of hip and pelvic area pain. He has ultimately decided to continue playing, but it remains to be seen if his pain subsides or worsens during the match.

Sinner and his ordeal with physical problems
It's important to remember that in the past, Sinner has already experienced several issues with his hip, and physical problems are a daily occurrence. Just last Roland Garros, he lost in the second round when he had his match against Juan Manuel Cerúndolo under control. He returned to Milan for medical tests, taking a break since then until Wimbledon without playing a single tournament. Therefore, a more serious hip injury could be fatal for his prospects for a season in which he is making history.
The third set is progressing as expected, with both players competing in a match of maximum equality, and Sinner has not yet requested the physio. However, he should be aware of the grass at Wimbledon, which especially in the early days is very slippery and can lead to unfortunate situations like this.
