Jannik Sinner achieved his first Grand Slam of the year at Wimbledon. A victory he had been seeking for a long time and gradually earned over the two weeks at the All England Club. The Italian went from strength to strength in the third major of the year and ended up setting a record within reach of very few.
With his victory over Alexander Zverev in the final, Sinner became the first Wimbledon champion since Roger Federer in 2003 to clinch the men's title without dropping a single service game in either the semifinals or the final. This fact reflects the absolute dominance he displayed with his serve in the most demanding stretch of the championship.
0 - Jannik Sinner is the first player to claim the Men's Singles title in Wimbledon without conceding games on serve in the semi-final (1/1 break point saved) and in final (1/1) since Roger Federer in 2003. Illegal. #Wimbledon | @Wimbledon @atptour pic.twitter.com/oRRl9k1MjW

In the semifinals, the world number one overcame Novak Djokovic by delivering a nearly flawless performance from the service line. The Serbian only had one break point opportunity throughout the match, in the third set, but Sinner saved it convincingly to close out the match without conceding his service at any point.
The story repeated itself two days later against Alexander Zverev. The German also couldn't find solutions to counter the Italian's serve. Once again, Sinner only gave one break chance, which he successfully neutralized, maintaining a perfect 1/1 record in saved break points.
Something similar hadn't happened since the 2003 edition, when Roger Federer lifted the first of his eight Wimbledon titles. That tournament marked the beginning of the Swiss's dominance on the grass of London, and now Sinner equals one of those significant records.
Beyond the trophy, the stat highlights the evolution that the Italian's game has undergone on grass. His serve has become one of his main weapons, especially in moments of maximum pressure, allowing him to excel even against some of the best returners on the circuit.
