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 emerged victorious on the court but also posted a statistical record that perfectly reflects his authority with his serve.
The Serbian, considered one of the best returners of all time, was unable to break Sinner's serve throughout the entire match. Djokovic had only one break opportunity and failed to convert it, ending the match with a remarkable 0 out of 1 in break points. This is an exceptional statistic in the career of the 24-time Grand Slam winner. In fact, it is only the third occasion in his entire career in 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 start of his Grand Slam career, Novak Djokovic 🇷🇸 failed to break his opponent:

Hewitt and Sinner, the only ones to achieve this feat
The first time this happened was at the 2006 US Open, when the Australian Lleyton Hewitt saved all 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 give the Balkan any break points.
Two years later, the Italian repeats the feat at Wimbledon. Although this time Djokovic did create an opportunity to break Sinner's serve, Sinner saved it and kept his serve intact until the end of the match. The statistic confirms the evolution of the Italian number one and highlights the enormous challenge his serve poses even for the best returner of the recent era. If there is a player capable of neutralizing one of Djokovic's major weapons, it is, at present, Jannik Sinner.
