Despite this, Bouchard believes Sinner’s playing style suits grass courts well, making him a strong contender.
Bouchard highlighted Sinner’s resilience in overcoming a five-set match in the tournament opener, acknowledging the uncertainty surrounding his current form. She noted that such challenges early on could actually benefit Sinner as he adjusts to the competition. Despite the shaky start, Bouchard remains optimistic about Sinner’s chances at Wimbledon.
Jannik Sinner, the current world No.1 in men’s tennis, entered Wimbledon following a mix of successes and setbacks in recent events.
