Jannik Sinner suffered agony in Paris last month but the world's top ranked player is showing no after effects as he bludgeons his way through Wimbledon.
He's only taken five hours and 23 minutes on court to win three matches and eyes up 34-year-old Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov next.

After last month's Parisian heartache, Jannik Sinner appears to be on a very eager march towards a shot at redemption in the Wimbledon final.
Sinner of course had three match points on the Alcaraz serve in Paris but the Spaniard survived and then prevailed.
At SW19, the world number one is relentlessly blasting his way towards a possible Alcaraz rematch on Centre Court.
On Saturday, Spaniard Pedro Martinez was sent packing 6-1 6-3 6-1 in just one hour and 55 minutes under the Centre Court roof.
The Italian is the only player in the men's draw yet to drop a set, losing just 17 games across the nine sets he has played in three rounds.
"This week could not have gone better for me," was Sinner's assessment and he'll hope to bypass halfway at Wimbledon in smooth fashion.
Enda McElhinney explains:
Sinner has looked unstoppable at times so far and he won the only previous Grand Slam meeting in straight sets in Paris in 2024.
Sinner has won the first set in all five meetings with Dimitrov and should do so again, while he's unlikely to waste much time. He's bagged the opening set 6-1 in two of his three matches.
Against Martinez in round three, Sinner lost just six points in his four service games as he took only 37 minutes to secure the first set. He has only allowed eight break points on his serve thus far.
Dimitrov lost his serve four times in round two against Frenchman Corentin Moutet and he could struggle to hold onto the top-ranked player early on.
Sinner's ace-count through three rounds stands at 32, twice getting into double figures and on this surface, he should surpass the eight aces he sent down against Dimitrov in Paris last year in a three-set win.

Having dropped just 17 games in his campaign so far, Sinner has equalled the Open Era record for fewest games dropped into the men's singles fourth round at Wimbledon.
The three-time Grand Slam winner is the most successful Italian of the Open Era with 19 titles and in 2024 he went 73-6 (0.924), posting the fifth-highest season win percentage this century.
Dimitrov is back on track after he was forced to withdraw from his first-round clash against Ethan Quinn due to a thigh injury at last month's French Open, despite leading 2-1 in sets.
He's Bulgaria's finest tennis export, winning nine titles including the 2017 ATP Masters 1000 Cincinnati and he reached the last-four at Wimbledon in 2014, while he also made semi-finals in Melbourne (2017) and New York (2019) and a French Open quarter-final last year.
