Jannik Sinner cruised into the third round of Wimbledon with a comfortable 6-1 6-1 6-3 win over Aleksandar Vukic on Centre Court.
The world No1 kept getting better and better in the SW19 sun, as his quest for a maiden title at the All England Club continues.
Sinner, who was shocked in the first round of Halle by Alexander Bublik in his only grass-court tournament pre-Wimbledon, was superb here, and ridiculed any rumblings that the turf was by far his weakest surface.
That was hardly the case here, as he swept past his Australian counterpart with ease in under two hours.
The Italian needed just an hour and 41 minutes to coast into round three, where he will face the unseeded Spaniard Pedro Martinez.
Sinner hit four times the number of aces as his opponent - 12 - and cracked 38 winners in a dominant display that was one-sided from the off.
It took only until the fourth game for the Vukic serve to be breached, as Sinner converted his fourth break opportunity, having saved one on his own delivery in the previous game.
The double-break was secured at 5-1, before a love-hold closed out the opener in just 28 minutes.
The second set started in the same vein as the first, with Sinner breaking Vukic immediately, before racing into a 5-1 lead, forcing the world No93 to serve to stay in the set.
He couldn’t - broken for a third time in the second - and Sinner was riding off into the sunset.
The third - and what proved to be the final - set was a tad more competitive, with Vukic making the scoreline slightly more respectable.
Both players traded holds until the eighth game, where Sinner decided to turn the heat up a tad more.
He ruthlessly took his only break point, but he made a meal of serving it out, needing six match points to get the job done, but not before staving off a break-back point.
Sinner marches on relentlessly, however, and he will face Martinez, who conquered Briton George Loffhagen in his opener, in the third round.
Martinez, the world No52, beat Mariano Navone in straight sets on Court No15 to earn his meeting with the reigning Australian Open and US Open champion.
