Jannik Sinner makes ideal start to Wimbledon campaign after comfortable victory

The three-time Grand Slam winner displayed great technique, variety and prowess in his serve and it was too much for Nardi to handle.

Sinner, who lost a five-set French Open final to Carlos Alcaraz in the previous major, is in search of his maiden Wimbledon title

"First matches are never easy so I'm very happy about my performance," the Italian said in his on-court interview after the victory.

"It's a new tournament, new chances, new challenges. You have one opponent at a time.

"The atmosphere as always was amazing. I know it's very hot, very humid. I don't remember the last time in London when the weather was like this."

Sinner will play Aleksandar Vukic of Australia in the second round.
