Jannik Sinner continues to grow at Wimbledon 2026. The defending champion delivered his most convincing performance of the tournament to defeat Jenson Brooksby 6-4, 6-3, 6-4, reaching the fourth round with much better feelings than in his first two matches. Despite dropping serve twice, the Italian displayed consistent authority and hardly seemed in danger of letting the victory slip away.
Following a tougher-than-expected debut and a second match with ups and downs, the world number one finally found his rhythm. His forehand once again became a decisive weapon, increasing the pace of exchanges and causing significant damage whenever he found space to dominate with that shot. Brooksby, always a tricky opponent due to his unorthodox style, struggled to disrupt Sinner's game plan as he showed much more solidity from the baseline.
Sinner lost his serve twice, but significantly improved his forehand and overall sensations
Beyond the scoreline, the Italian achieved another important objective: minimizing physical exertion. On a day marked by intense heat in London, closing out the match in three sets without being forced into long rallies or marathon sets is an added benefit heading into the second week. Fatigue is becoming an increasingly relevant factor in a Grand Slam, and Sinner seems to have taken a step forward just as the tournament toughens.
His next hurdle will be one of the big surprises in the men's draw. Japanese player Shintaro Mochizuki secured his spot in the fourth round by defeating Spanish player Rafael Jódar, continuing a brilliant week that brings him back into the spotlight where he previously won the junior title years ago. The clash against Sinner will represent a substantial challenge, although the Japanese player will arrive with soaring confidence.
Meanwhile, the defending champion keeps sending very positive signals. His tennis is starting to resemble the level that led him to lift the trophy a year ago, and if he maintains this form, he will once again be the main reference in a section of the draw that is beginning to tilt in his favor.
