Sinner breaks Italian record and becomes favorite

Jannik Sinner rewrote the annals of Italian tennis by destroying the historical record of Grand Slam victories held by Nicola Pietrangeli, simultaneously consolidating his position as the undisputed favorite to conquer Wimbledon 2026. The 24-year-old world number one reached the figure of 95 wins in major tournaments with his success on the London grass, leaving behind the mark of 94 victories that the legendary Pietrangeli maintained in force during more than half a century. This sporting milestone transcends numbers as it occurs in the most demanding setting on the circuit, where Sinner has demonstrated a devastating level of play that separates him from his immediate pursuers.
