Top seed Sinner eyes another deep run as he takes on the unseeded Vukic at Wimbledon.
Top seed Jannik Sinner is set to clash with Australian Alexander Vukic in the second round of Wimbledon 2025. Sinner made a strong start to his campaign, dispatching Luca Nardi in straight sets with clinical ease. Vukic, on the other hand, was pushed to the brink by Jason Tseng, eventually sealing the win in four sets with a tight tiebreak in the decider. Their contrasting first-round performances set the stage for an intriguing second-round matchup on the grass.
Ruthless against his compatriots 🙀

With his win against Luca Nardi today, Jannik Sinner remains undefeated against Italians at the ATP tour-level. ⚡️#Wimbledon pic.twitter.com/NHoPq3kMGh
Sinner has delivered a strong 2025 season, beginning with a successful Australian Open title defense over Alexander Zverev. After a three-month doping suspension, he returned unbeaten until a Rome final loss to Carlos Alcaraz. The two then battled in a near six-hour Roland Garros final too, where Alcaraz edged him in five hard-fought sets (three tiebreaks).
Sinner’s only recent stumble came in Halle, falling to Alexander Bublik in round two. He’s hit 126 aces, winning 77% of first-serve points, 35% on first-serve returns, and converting 44% of 211 break points.

Vukic’s season has been modest, highlighted by a third-round run in Melbourne and a Challenger semifinal in Estoril. He recently lost in Eastbourne’s first round to James Duckworth. Stat-wise, he’s hit 190 aces, with 73% first-serve points won, 27% return points won, and a 36% break point conversion rate.
Jannik Sinner leads Aleksander Vukic 2-0 in their head-to-head. Their first meeting came at Melbourne 1 in 2021, followed by a quarterfinal clash in Sofia the next year, both won by Sinner in straight sets. The Italian has yet to drop a set against the Aussie, making him the clear favorite, among other factors, heading into their Wimbledon encounter.
| Year | Event | Round | Winner | Score |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 | Sofia | Quarterfinals | Jannik Sinner | 6-2, 6-3 |
| 2021 | Melbourne 1 | Round of 32 | Jannik Sinner | 6-2, 6-4 |
| Jannik Sinner | Category | Aleksandar Vukic |
| 1 | Current Ranking | 93 |
| 282-83 | Career W-L | 46-68 |
| 19-3 | YTD W-L | 5-15 |
| 19 | Career Titles | 0 |
| 3 | Grand Slams | 0 |
| 1 | YTD Titles | 0 |
Given Sinner’s dominant form and Vukic’s lack of momentum, this looks like a straightforward task for the top seed. Expect Sinner to control the match from start to finish, likely wrapping it up in straight sets.
