Jannik Sinner once again demonstrated why he is one of the most dominant players on the current circuit. In his match against Novak Djokovic at Wimbledon 2026, the Italian not only prevailed on the court but also showcased a statistical record that perfectly reflects his authority with the serve.
The Serbian, considered one of the best returners of all time, was unable to break Sinner's serve throughout the entire match. Djokovic only had one break opportunity and failed to convert it, closing the match with a remarkable 0 for 1 in break points. This is an exceptional stat in the career of the winner of 24 Grand Slam titles. In fact, it is only the third occasion in his entire career at a tournament of this caliber where he finishes a match without securing a single break, excluding matches that ended due to retirement or disqualification.
📊 For the 3rd time since the beginning of his Grand Slam career, Novak Djokovic 🇷🇸 failed to break his opponent:

Hewitt and Sinner, the Only Ones to Achieve the Feat
The first time this occurred was at the 2006 US Open when the Australian Lleyton Hewitt thwarted the five break opportunities Djokovic had. It took almost 18 years to find a new precedent: the 2024 Australian Open semifinals, where Jannik Sinner did not concede a single break point to the Balkan player.
Two years later, the Italian repeats the feat at Wimbledon. Although this time Djokovic did create an opportunity to break the serve, Sinner saved it and kept his serve intact until the end of the match. This stat confirms the evolution of the Italian number one and highlights the huge challenge that his serve represents, even for the best returner of the last era. If there is a player capable of neutralizing one of Djokovic's great weapons, that player is, undoubtedly, Jannik Sinner today.
