On July 4, the Centre Court witnessed two standout performances. Jannik Sinner obliterated Aleksandar Vukic 6–1, 6–1, 6–3 — losing just 12 games and firing 38 winners with surgical precision. Meanwhile, Aryna Sabalenka, under the roof, edged past local crowd-favorite Emma Raducanu in a tightly contested 7–6(6), 6–4 match — with Raducanu digging deep before Sabalenka’s glass-like consistency prevailed .
Today’s matches? Focused and high-stakes. Let’s unpack how yesterday’s form could decide the winners today.
(Quick match Recaps)
Sinner def. Vukic 6–1, 6–1, 6–3 — 38 winners, just 12 games conceded, zero break points faced. Source
Sabalenka def. Raducanu 7–6(6), 6–4 — Raducanu battled; Sabalenka broke back from 4–1 down to seal it. Source
Alcaraz def. Struff 6–1, 3–6, 6–3, 6–4 — Battled back after dropping a set, showed niggling resilience. Source
Sinner’s bullet-like serve and near-zero error rate means he paces games, he refuses to get rushed.
Expect him to steamroll another early lead today. Sabalenka’s tiebreak toughness (she’s now won 80% of straight sets to tiebreaks this tournament) shows mental steel under pressure.
Today’s story: will her power and calm stay clean against aggressive returners?
🏆 Honorable Mentions
There’s two more games we are looking at:
Djokovic’s Detour: Novak cruised into Round 3 with a strong Center Court performance and zero dropped sets. Could he hit a mid-day slump?
Upset Alert: Emma Raducanu’s loss means British hopes pivot to Sonay Kartal, whose confident 6–4, 6–2 win keeps her the last home hope
Spotlight Matchups Today
Match | Time (BST) | Insight |
|---|---|---|
Sinner vs. Pedro Martínez | Centre, ~1:30 PM | Can Sinner maintain rhythm or will Martínez’s counterpunching test his focus? |
Sabalenka vs. Danielle Collins | Centre, ~3:00 PM | Power vs. grit - Sabalenka must start strong or risk sliding into tension. |
Djokovic vs. Miomir Kecmanović | Centre or No. 1, ~5:00 PM | A legacy vs. youth battle -watch how Novak handles baseline rhythm under CdT roof |
Another day, another chapter of grass-court chaos.
Sinner’s looking untouchable right now, but don’t be surprised if Pedro Martínez steals a set with nothing to lose and a whole lot of variation. Sabalenka’s power is elite, no doubt but if Danielle Collins forces her into longer second-serve exchanges, the double faults could creep in.
And Djokovic? He’s got Kecmanović on paper, but if the roof’s closed and the rallies stretch, Novak’s shot tolerance better be locked in.
👀 Not betting advice, but…
Sinner to drop Set 2? Not wild.
Sabalenka to go 7-5 first set? Possible.
Djokovic to win, but not cruise? Likely.
Let’s see who brings the fire, who cracks under pressure, and who writes the highlight real.
