Six days after Jannik Sinner secured his second Wimbledon title, the first opinions about the Italian's achievement are starting to emerge, as he defended the trophy at the London Grand Slam. Although the world number one didn't display his most devastating and overpowering form, a more down-to-earth version, even struggling in his early matches, helped him claim his fifth major title.
A sentiment also shared by Patrick Mouratoglou, who, as usual, didn't hesitate to give his take on Sinner's performance in London: "It wasn't Jannik at his best, but he still had a lot to offer. It wasn't a great Jannik, because if we compare his usual level from recent months to his level during Wimbledon, I would say Sinner won at around 65% to 70% of his capacity."
Ridiculous speed around the court 💫

Patrick Mouratoglou considers that Jannik Sinner was not at 100% in Wimbledon
The Frenchman further elaborated on his Instagram account: "I felt he didn't have much confidence. Yes, he had a major disappointment at Roland Garros, but it's not like he played poorly. And before that, he won several matches without dropping any. So, he should have had a lot of confidence. In the final, he missed many forehand shots and was retreating, whereas he usually always pushes forward, and his return wasn't as good. Although his level was quite mediocre, I believe it will be very useful for him in the future to know that he can win a Grand Slam at 70% of his tennis quality."
Jannik Sinner gradually improved in Wimbledon 2026. He almost exited in his opening match but managed to come back against Miomir Kecmanovic in five sets (4-6, 6-3, 6-7(8), 6-2, 6-3), also facing challenges in the second round against Nuno Borges (7-6(4), 7-6(2), 6-4). In the third round, signs of recovery emerged against Jenson Brooksby (6-4, 6-3, 6-4), then triumphs over Shintaro Mochizuki (6-3, 7-6(0), 6-3) and the hard-hitter Jan-Lennard Struff (7-5, 7-6(4), 6-3). In the semifinals, he avenged his loss at the Australian Open against Novak Djokovic (6-4, 6-4, 6-4) to eventually lift the title after a comeback victory in the final against the formidable Alexander Zverev (6-7(9), 7-6(2), 6-3, 6-4).
