Jannik Sinner moved into the Wimbledon third round as the defending champion held his nerve in a pair of tie-breaks to beat Portugal's Nuno Borges on Wednesday.Once again, Sinner wasn't at his best but the world number one did just enough to advance 7-6 (7/4), 7-6 (7/2), 6-4 on Centre Court.The 24-year-old Italian had narrowly avoided an embarrassing first-round exit when he fought back from two sets to one down to beat Serbian Miomir Kecmanovic on Monday.Sinner was left bloodied against Kecmanovic by an awkward fall that injured his right foot.The four-time Grand Slam champion did not appear impeded by that blow on his return to action in the second round, but he struggled to impose himself against the spirited world number 48.'The second set was very tough. First couple of sets we were serving very well. These matches, where you don't have a lot of control, I'm happy to win,' Sinner said.'I didn't do a lot of practice because the first match was very long.'There's a couple of things I need to improve. I felt some moments where I still need to get back to this rhythm.'Sinner ended Carlos Alcaraz's two-year reign as Wimbledon champion with a brilliant final victory over the Spaniard last year.He is still some way from those lofty heights heading into his third-round tie against American world number 81 Jenson Brooksby.Having opted not to play a Wimbledon warm-up event for the first time in his career, Sinner has looked a little underprepared at the start of his title defence.Sinner hasn't reached a Grand Slam final this year and blew a two-set lead in a shock French Open second-round defeat against Juan Manuel Cerundolo in June.

Former Tour de France winner Geraint Thomas said on Wednesday that his Netcompany Ineos team would be targeting the first yellow jersey of the Grand Boucle in Saturday's opening team time-trial.Now the British team's sporting director, Thomas is no stranger to time-trial success at the Tour.In 2017, he won the opening individual time-trial ahead of his team leader Chris Froome and wore the yellow jersey for four days. The following year, he went on to win the Tour.Netcompany Ineos have included several strong time-trialists in their eight-man team for the Tour, which begins in Barcelona.Italian Filippo Ganna is a twice former time-trial world champion having succeeded Norwegian Tobias Foss, while Briton Josh Tarling is a former European champion in the discipline.Asked at a press conference if he was aiming to win the opening 19.6km team time-trial, Thomas said: "I'd be lying if I said it wasn't."With their overall contender Oscar Onley, who was fourth last year, forced to miss the Tour through injury, the team will be hunting stage victories more than anything else. And none more so than the opening one.He said that the team had been practising throughout the year with the Tour TTT in mind."It's like anything, you're not going to win the mountain jersey without going up a hill," he said."But it's just a great opportunity for us, why not just give it a good shot? The boys are motivated for it."We've got some world-class time trialists... we've got two of the best individually and in the team discipline."It's just an exciting goal. Let's get out there, start with a bang and give it the best we can."New format At the Tour Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes a month ago, the team finished just nine seconds behind Visma-Lease a Bike in a 28.4km team time-trial in which they lost significant time when Onley's chain dropped and the others had to slow down and wait for him to fix it before continuing their charge.They will come into this weekend's race as one of the big favourites to take the first yellow jersey.The new team time-trial format, which ends with a punchy climb, requires classic time-trialists to deliver a more explosive climber to finish off their effort.In many teams case that will be their overall contender. Each team's time is taken when their first rider crosses the line. "Obviously there's been a lot of thought and a lot of discussion about the best strategy," said Thomas."You need a finisher that's able to go up that last climb quickly after the last 20 odd minutes."I don't think now is the time to discuss our strategy, but it's something we've put a lot of effort into."The final climb is less than a kilometre long and not massively steep, but tough enough that larger, heavier specialist sprinters or time-trialists would be unable to keep pace with a lighter punchy climber.
