World’s No.1 Jannik Sinner is getting closer and closer to his dream of winning the Wimbledon Open. The Italian only needs four more wins to capture the glamourous grand slam title, though he needs to overcome four more opponents, beginning this Sunday against American Ben Shelton. Sinner's first three rounds haven't gone as smoothly as he had hoped, but they did teach him some difficult lessons that will be useful in the battles to come. The Italian denied upset attempts from Yannick Hanfmann of Germany 6-3 6-4 3-6 6-3 and compatriot Matteo Berrettini 7-6(3) 7-6(4) 2-6 7-6(4) before he cruised to a straight set win over Miomir Kecmanovic of Serbia 6-1 6-4 6-2 in the round-of-32. Meanwhile, Shelton has survived more brutal battles with her first three opponents. The No. 14 seed American has ground out three consecutive five-set victories over Mattia Bellucci of Italy 4-6 6-3 3-6 6-3 6-4, Llyod Harris of South Africa 4-6 7-6(5) 6-7(5) 6-3 7-6(7) and Dennis Shapovalov of Canada 6-7(4) 6-2 6-4 4-6 6-2 to arrange a fourth-round clash with the world’s No.1 men’s singles player.
