LONDON :Italian youngster Jannik Sinner could not tame American John Isner's heavy-duty serving but the 10th seed had enough other weapons in his armoury to win 6-4 7-6 6-3 and sail into the fourth round at Wimbledon on Friday.
Friday's win made the 10th-seeded Sinner the youngest Italian in the Open Era to reach the Wimbledon fourth round while setting up a mouth-watering clash of young guns against 19-year-old Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz, who was equally impressive in his 6-3 6-1 6-2 win over Oscar Otte."It's obviously tough to say," the Italian replied when asked if their rivalry would become an important one in men's tennis."I mean, I hope I can be part of this, for sure.
"But, I'm not thinking so much about that. I'm thinking about my way where I have to go. Obviously there is a lot of work to do." Undeterred by the booming serves from Isner, who ousted twice former champion Andy Murray in the second round, Sinner kept a lid on his unforced errors and dominated the rallies in a match of small margins.
