Jannik Sinner navigated his latest tricky assignment at Wimbledon on Wednesday with a straight-sets win over Nuno Borges before he hinted he will play at Queen’s Club in 2027. The four-time grand slam champion decided to skip his tradition warm-up tournament on the grass in Halle this year and went straight from the clay of Roland Garros to the lawn at the All England Club via one exhibition match at Hurlingham last month.
