On July 5, Jannik Sinner carved another dominant day: a flawless 6–1, 6–3, 6–1 win over Pedro Martínez, dropping just 11 games through four rounds, nearly rewriting grass-court history as the No. 1 seed with fewer games conceded since Federer in ’04.
Novak Djokovic hit his 100th Wimbledon win milestone, trouncing Miomir Kecmanović in straight sets under the roof, a legacy-loaded moment that seems to sharpen, not soften, his edge.

And Aryna Sabalenka navigated a pressure-cooker third round against Emma Raducanu, saving eight set points before closing 7–6(6), 6–4, her clutch DNA fully intact.
This morning, Sinner rematches with Grigor Dimitrov, Djokovic faces Alex de Minaur, and Sabalenka goes up against Elise Mertens. Stakes are sky-high, and narrative tension is real.
(Quick match Recaps)
Sinner def. Martínez 6–1, 6–3, 6–1 — just 11 games lost in four rounds, elite-level grasscourt domination .
Djokovic def. Kecmanović 6–3, 6–0, 6–4 — milestone 100th MTV win; vintage Centre Court performance .
Sabalenka def. Raducanu 7–6(6), 6–4 — saved eight set points & rode crowd tension to round four
Sinner’s unforced error total is hovering at just 4.6 per set, insane for grass. Dimitrov’s shot variety could mix up rhythm, but if Sinner stays in first-serve mode, it’s his to lose.
Djokovic’s centurion moment often sparks a second-season surge, expect focus and fire today against de Minaur. Sabalenka’s early serve accuracy (67%+ 1st-serve in clutch points) tells us Mertens will need earnt returns to stay competitive.
🏆 Honorable Mentions
Ben Shelton’s Surge: The young American is yet to face a break point in four rounds, whispers of a surprise run are growing .
Clara Tauson Lives: Another upset, this time Elena Rybakina is gone, and Tauson rolls through 7–6, 6–3
