World number one Jannik Sinner’s seamless start to his bid for a first Wimbledon title continued with a dominant straight-set win over Australia’s Aleksandar Vukic.
Italy’s Sinner, 23, lost just five games in another commanding display on Centre Court as he overpowered his 93rd-ranked opponent in just 100 minutes to reach the third round.
The three-time major winner won 6-1 6-1 6-3, having conceded only seven games in his opening match, as he offered another ominous warning to his rivals.
