London — Italian Young Yannick Sinner was unable to tame American John Isner's heavy-duty serving, but the 10th seed beat 6-4 7-6 (4) 6-3 at Wimbledon on Friday, the second. He had enough other weapons to sail in the fourth round.
Isner claimed the best record ever by slamming 24 aces and servicing them, but the answer is to the 20-year-old Italian all-court game and powerful groundstrokes. There was not.
The victory of 10-seed thinner created an appetizing fourth round clash with 19-year-old Spanish Carlos Alcaraz with a young gun. He was just as impressive at 6-3 6-16-2. He beats German Oscar Otte.
Thinner, who became the youngest Italian in the open era to reach the fourth round at Wimbledon, defeated 20-seeded Isner in the first and third sets on Friday. Did not face one breakpoint. (Report by Sudipto Ganguly, edited by Ken Ferris)
