Jannik Sinner has once again raised doubts in his second-round match at Wimbledon 2026 against Nuno Borges, whom he defeated with a scoreline of 7-6(4) 7-6(2) 6-4 after 2 hours and 31 minutes of play. Just like in his debut against Miomir Kecmanovic, the world number 1 delivered, but he doesn't seem to be that dominant player from before Roland Garros.

In the first set, there were no service breaks, and it was the Italian player who showed his experience in the tiebreak to come out on top. However, far from crumbling, Borges managed to break Sinner's serve early in the second set to take the lead. He served for the set at 5-4 and had a set point in his favor, but Sinner held on, broke his serve, and once again showcased his best tennis in another tiebreak. In the third set, he grabbed an early break, and despite the Portuguese player breaking back, he secured another break to steer the match in his favor and secure his spot in the next round.

Sinner needs to step up

Beyond the victory, the truth is that Sinner is far from the player who swept through everyone at Roland Garros. In Paris, he suffered a tough defeat due to physical problems in the second round and had not played since then. While he didn't participate in the entire grass-court season and has to adjust to such a challenging surface, he will need to raise his level in the upcoming rounds if he wants to avoid a scare.

Jenson Brooksby awaits him in the third round, who shouldn't pose a significant threat, but from the round of 16 onwards, he could face players like Rafa Jódar, who could trouble him if he continues with these uncertainties in his game. Nonetheless, a win is a win, and right now, he needs to accumulate matches to regain his best form and attempt to defend his title at the All England Club.
