Jannik Sinner is about to surpass an impressive Rafael Nadal landmark that players only get one chance to set. The Italian became the 29th male player in the Open Era to reach world No. 1 status last June, and his superb run of tournament results has kept him there ever since.

Novak Djokovic admits he was also surprised by Jannik Sinner deciding to stop working with his two former team members just before Wimbledon but adds that he understands why it might have happened.

Here, we make our Wimbledon men’s singles predictions. Jannik Sinner was upset by the red-hot Alexander Bublik in the second round of the Halle Open, but that defeat has not dented his status as an extremely strong contender at Wimbledon.
