- Miomir Kecmanovic was drawn to face top seed and defending champion Jannik Sinner on the opening day of Wimbledon on Monday.
- Kecmanovic is unseeded at this year’s tournament, but the 26-year-old has previously reached world No 27 back in 2023.
- His best-ever result at a grand slam tournament is reaching the fourth round of the Australian Open in 2022 and 2024.
- He was a heavy underdog against Sinner, but managed to win two of the first three sets to move to the brink of a shock victory.
- Sinner fought back to claim the final two sets as he held off the spirited Kecmanovic to record a 4-6, 6-3, 6-7, 6-2, 6-2 victory.
