The 24-year-old has since stepped up his practice schedule ahead of his first-round meeting with Serb Miomir Kecmanovic on Monday.<\/p>\n
It marked the first time that Sinner had opted against competing in the Wimbledon warm-up events ahead of the famous tournament in SW19.<\/p>\n
Sinner<\/a>, though, insists he feels “good” before Wimbledon gets underway on Monday.

You come here with some doubts.<\/p>\n “If you don’t play any tournament, you don’t have these doubts, you just go and play.”<\/p>\n Ahead of his meeting with Kecmanovic, Sinner added: “First rounds, they’re always going to be very tough. I know that mentally. We are preparing ourselves in the best possible way.”<\/p>\n Sinner also revealed he has tinkered with his fitness regime ahead of Wimbledon amid soaring temperatures in the capital.<\/p>\n England has baked in 30-degree heat this past week, but temperatures should cool before the tournament gets underway.<\/p>\n “We did some changes,” added Sinner. “I don’t say big, big changes. But I always believe in small details, and small changes.<\/p>\n “We are happy at the moment with what we are doing. We’re not going to see [the result of them] here. It’s a long process. There’s no magic behind it.<\/p>\n “But, yeah, we are doing as much as we can. I’m very happy with the work we did in the last two-and-a-half weeks. Very long days. I feel well-prepared.”<\/p>\n ‘Every year is getting warmer’<\/p>\n Additionally, Sinner insists that all his pre-Wimbledon tests were “really good” as he looks to win a fifth career Grand Slam after the Paris heat ultimately ended his hopes of a first French Open success.<\/p>\n “General tests to see health-wise how I was, to be sure that all is okay with the body,” he said. “All tests were really good.<\/p>\n “Even though we are very sure we need to practice in hotter conditions. I feel like everywhere where we play is going to be very hot. Every year is getting warmer and warmer.”<\/p>\n Sinner is the favourite to win Wimbledon this year given Carlos Alcaraz’s absence<\/a>, and Novak Djokovic’s advancing years.Alexander Zverev<\/a> will arguably provide Sinner’s sternest test this summer, the German having claimed his first Grand Slam<\/a> success at the French Open last month.Wimbledon starts on Monday, June 29, and runs until Sunday, July 12 as Sinner and Iga Swiatek<\/a> look to defend their respective men’s and women’s singles crowns.Add TNT Sports as a preferred source here<\/a>\u00a0to enjoy more content like this.Enjoy daily highlights from Wimbledon 2026 on tntsports.co.uk<\/a> and the TNT Sports app, plus watch and stream highlights each evening and the men’s and women’s singles finals live on TNT Sports and HBO Max<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Agassi calls out ‘flaw’ in Sinner’s preparation – ‘No excuse to run into a wall’ Video credit: TNT…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":662269,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[101,118,56,54,55,222042],"class_list":["post-662268","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tennis","tag-sports","tag-tennis","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom","tag-wimbledon-mens-singles-2026"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/662268","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=662268"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/662268\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/662269"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=662268"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=662268"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=662268"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"picture\"](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/image-c622c277-a5a3-4422-a5f6-07d325b8c2c0-85-2560-1440.jpeg\")
