World No 1 Jannik Sinner continued his imperious form at Wimbledon with a commanding 6-1, 6-3, 6-1 victory over Pedro Mart\u00ednez in the third round.<\/p>\n

The Italian needed just three sets to dispatch his Spanish opponent, who struggled with an apparent shoulder injury throughout the match.<\/p>\n

Sinner’s ruthless efficiency saw him drop merely six games, maintaining his remarkable tournament statistics. The top seed has now conceded only 17 games across his three matches at SW19.<\/p>\n

His dominant display keeps him firmly on track to challenge one of tennis’s most enduring records, set nearly five decades ago.<\/p>\n

The 23-year-old Italian is pursuing Bjorn Borg’s extraordinary achievement from the 1978 French Open, where the Swedish legend lost just 32 games en route to the title.<\/p>\n

This 47-year-old record stands as one of the most impressive feats in Grand Slam history.<\/p>\n

With four potential matches remaining, Sinner can afford to lose only 15 more games to match Borg’s remarkable tally.<\/p>\n

Jannik Sinner was imperious as he cruised to victory over Pedro Martinez at Wimbledon<\/p>\n

PA<\/p>\n

The mathematics favour the Italian’s quest – he currently averages 5.66 games lost per match, whilst Borg maintained an average of 4.57 during his historic run at Roland Garros.<\/p>\n

Should Sinner maintain his current form, he would rewrite the record books at the All England Club.<\/p>\n

The tennis star’s exceptional performance has already secured him a place in the record books. The Italian has surpassed Roger Federer’s achievement for the fewest games conceded en route to the fourth round at a Grand Slam.<\/p>\n

Federer’s previous benchmark stood at 19 games lost when he reached the round of 16 in 2004. Sinner has bettered this mark by two games, establishing a new standard for dominance in the early rounds.<\/p>\n

This milestone underscores the world No 1’s extraordinary form on the grass courts, where he has barely been troubled by his opponents thus far.<\/p>\n

And Sinner had nothing but positive things to say about his opponent and his spirited attitude.<\/p>\n

“I’m very happy but we all saw he was struggling with the shoulder and couldn’t serve well,” he said.<\/p>\n

“On this surface if you can’t serve well, it’s not easy to play. But huge respect to him for coming out here and competing.<\/p>\n
