It took only seven points before the first forlorn shout of "C'mon Pedro" was warmly applauded by a Centre Court crowd who had already seen enough to know that Jannik Sinner was in for an easy Saturday afternoon at Wimbledon.

Meanwhile, Jannik also broke Roger Federer's record for the fewest games lost until the round of 16. The Swiss legend – who has triumphed eight times in the most prestigious tournament in the world – had left his rivals just 19 games in the 2004 edition, two more than Sinner.

Earlier this week on July 1, No. 1 seed Jannik Sinner took down countryman Luca Nardi in straights sets to advance to the second round at Wimbledon. The win set up a match against heavy underdog Aleksander Vukic.
