Jannik Sinner defeated Novak Djokovic in straight sets to reach the Wimbledon final, showcasing dominant serving, powerful groundstrokes and strong defence. Djokovic, aiming to match Roger Federer’s record, struggled as Sinner controlled the match throughout. Sinner advances to face Alexander Zverev, who beat Arthur Fery earlier in the day.

Novak Djokovic enters the Wimbledon semi-finals despite repeated signs of fatigue, surviving lengthy and difficult matches against opponents who failed to capitalise on key opportunities. Jannik Sinner, the top seed, is positioned as the favourite based on his physicality and form, yet questions remain over his consistency and vulnerability to heat-related issues, which caused his collapse at the French Open. The match hinges on whether Sinner can maintain peak performance or whether Djokovic’s resilience and experience can exploit any physical lapses.
