Jannik Sinner has no rival, neither on the court nor in training. When the world number 1 is on form, few players can challenge him, let alone his sparring partners, as seen in a fun moment at Wimbledon 2026, where not even two at once could keep up with him.

After struggling in his debut against Miomir Kecmanovic, which went to 5 sets, Sinner will face Nuno Borges in the second round, and he wanted to do a high-intensity training session with a very fast pace of play, something that even his sparring partners couldn't handle, and there were two of them. In fact, Simone Vagnozzi had to step in to help, while Darren Cahill gave instructions from the side of the court to ensure everything went smoothly.
Elite spectators at Sinner's training session
Moreover, the training session of the San Candido native had elite spectators, as other players like Alexander Zverev or Joao Fonseca didn't want to miss watching one of their potential future opponents in the tournament. Contrary to what it may seem, these occurrences are not isolated, as it is quite common to see other players "spying" on their main threats to study their techniques in tournaments as crucial as these.
What's clear is that Sinner has taken Kecmanovic's warning in the first round very seriously, pushing himself to the maximum in training to raise his level by a notch or two and avoid another scare next Wednesday against Borges, whom he shouldn't struggle excessively against. However, on a such unpredictable surface as grass, anything is possible, as is being seen in these initial days of the tournament.
