Jannik Sinner remains on course at Wimbledon after easing past Pedro Martinez

Sinner has been at his dominant best so far in the tournament, dropping just 17 games in his three matches, and he could well break the record for the fewest games lost in a title-winning run.

The current holder of that record is Bjorn Borg who lost just 32 games during his 1978 French Open win.

As it stands, Sinner can lose 15 more games in a possible four remaining matches to match the feat of the Swede. On average, Borg dropped 4.57 games per match while Sinner is currently losing 5.66 per match.

Sinner has also surpassed Roger Federer in terms of the fewest games conceded on route to the round of 16. Federer previously held the record for the 19 he lost in 2004 but Sinner has cleared that with two to spare.

The 23-year-old said his first week in SW19 "could not have gone better".

"Very happy with the win but we saw that Martinez was struggling. When you don’t serve well on this surface it is hard," he said. "Huge respect to him to come out here and compete."

"Every time you enter a Grand Slam in the first week it is special, even more so at Wimbledon. We are trying to keep pushing but this week could not have gone better for me."

"I feel like I haven’t won anything compared to all of the people in there [the Royal Bos]! It is a huge honour to play in front of you all. It is nice to see new faces from other sports."

Sinner will face the winner of Grigor Dimitrov or Sebastian Ofner in the fourth round.
