Jannik Sinner beats Federer in new Wimbledon record with dominant early rounds

Jannik Sinner

Jannik Sinner has stormed into the Round of 16 at Wimbledon 2025, conceding only 17 games across his first three matches. This remarkable feat sets a new benchmark in the Open Era, surpassing Roger Federer’s previous record of 19 games dropped en route to the same stage in 2004. Sinner’s performance has been nothing short of clinical, showcasing his precision, power, and composure on grass.

Match-by-match breakdown of Sinner’s dominance

Sinner began his campaign with a commanding win over Luca Nardi, dropping just seven games in a 6-4, 6-3, 6-0 victory. He followed that with an even more ruthless display against Aleksandar Vukic, conceding only five games in a 6-1, 6-1, 6-3 triumph. In the third round, he dismantled Pedro Martinez 6-1, 6-3, 6-1, adding just five more games to his total. Across these matches, Sinner has not lost a single set and has yet to be broken on serve.

Surpassing Federer’s 2004 milestone

Roger Federer’s 2004 Wimbledon run was long considered one of the most dominant starts in tournament history. Sinner’s achievement not only eclipses that record but also signals a new era of grass-court excellence. His ability to control rallies, return aggressively, and serve with pinpoint accuracy has made him nearly untouchable in the early rounds.

What lies ahead for the top seed

With his place in the second week secured, Sinner now prepares to face either Grigor Dimitrov or Sebastian Ofner in the Round of 16. The Italian star enters the match with momentum and confidence, aiming to continue his pursuit of a maiden Wimbledon title. His current form suggests that he is not just a contender—but a favorite.
