In brief
Jannik Sinner delivered a dominant performance to deny Novak Djokovic a historic 25th Grand Slam title and secure a place in the Wimbledon final. The all‑England champion won 6‑4, 6‑4, 6‑4, dispensing 40 winners with just 15 unforced errors and 16 aces while never offering a break point until the middle of the third set. Djokovic was left unable to match his usual intensity after a grueling five‑set battle earlier in the tournament. Sinner will face Alexander Zverev, a rival who has already thrusted him to defeat in ten of their 14 encounters.
Jannik Sinner clinched an emphatic 6‑4, 6‑4, 6‑4 victory over Novak Djokovic in the Wimbledon semi‑finals, setting up a showdown with Alexander Zverev in the final.
The match, lasting 2 hours 20 minutes, kept the Centre Court in breathless suspense. Sinner remained break‑point free until midway through the third set and stopped a lone break point against him with an ace.
Sinner’s command was evident: 40 winners to 15 unforced errors, 16 aces, and a 99th Grand Slam triumph that brings him dangerously close to becoming the 10th man in the Open era to retain Wimbledon.
The 39‑year‑old Djokovic was unable to recover from the giant‑thumping five‑set battle against Koepfer earlier the week, leaving him unable to match the intensity that saw him win his last four majors.
Sinner walked out of the court under a shower of applause, his confidence soaring as he faced Zverev, whom he has beaten in 10 of their 14 previous meet‑ups. The final will see Sinner test his mettle against a Zverev who has recently claimed his first Grand Slam title.
