A few hours and the long-awaited Wimbledon tournament, the third Grand Slam tournament of this season, will officially begin. Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner were immediately on the field with the latter among the main favorites for the final victory.
The world number one is aiming for victory in a title that isn’t concrete but to do so he has to deal with a scoreboard that is anything but simple. Hanfmann in the first round, then most likely the fratricidal derby in the second round against Matteo Berrettini and then immediately the third round against the Dutch Griekspoor.
In short, an immediately complicated calendar that could create more than a headache for the South Tyrolean tennis player. Berrettini himself was a finalist in 2021 at Wimbledon and has won several tournaments on grass, which is why he represents a more than complicated obstacle for Jannik Sinner and on the other hand there is one fact more than anything that worries the tennis player from San Candido.
From 2020 to now Matteo Berrettini is the tennis player who has won the most matches on grass and therefore represents the ‘herbivore’ tennis player par excellence. He is ahead of many others, his record is even 28 victories and only 5 defeats, we have already seen in the past how difficult it is to overtake him on this surface.
Strangely, in this ranking there are neither Novak Djokovic nor Carlos Alcaraz, the last two tennis players to win Wimbledon and who have triumphed several times on this surface. Berrettini leads this ranking ahead of Alexander Bublik, Alex De Minaur and the Russian Daniil Medvedev (also in the possible path of Jannik) and Jordan Thompson closes this ranking.
Here is the complete ranking:
In short, while waiting to reach the final stages possibly against Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic (above all, a lot depends on the Serbian’s condition), Jannik will immediately have to face possible specialists and the draw promises to be very tough.
