Jannik Sinner makes his debut today, July 1, at Wimbledon 2024. The Italian, world number 1, makes his debut in the first round of the Championships facing the German Yannick Hanfmann, number 95 in the ATP ranking. Sinner, chasing his fifth title of the season after his triumph in the ATP tournament in Halle, arrives at Wimbledon in ideal conditions.
Sinner’s debut
“I’m ready,” said the 22-year-old from South Tyrol, who has just secured the first title of his career in a grass tournament. Against Hanfmann, the world number 1 won the only direct confrontation: the two tennis players faced each other in 2023 in the first round of the US Open, Sinner won in 3 sets leaving just 5 games to his rival.
Today’s match is the third scheduled on Court 1, where the program begins at 1 p.m. local time (2 p.m. in Italy). The first match on Court 1 is Kovacevic-Medvedev, followed by the women’s match Bektas-Sabalenka. Sinner will therefore start play in the late Italian afternoon, presumably no earlier than 6 p.m.
