Jannik Sinner outclassed Novak Djokovic on Friday, July 11 in the Wimbledon semi-finals to set up a clash with defending champion Carlos Alcaraz in Sunday’s final.

The world number one is through to his fourth consecutive Grand Slam title match  and his first at Wimbledon — after a commanding 6-3, 6-3, 6-4 victory over Djokovic.

The 23-year-old will be eager to avenge his painful French Open loss to world number two Alcaraz, where he squandered three championship points in last month’s dramatic Roland Garros final.

Sinner and Alcaraz have firmly established themselves as the new kings of men’s tennis, capturing the last six majors between them.

Djokovic, a seven-time Wimbledon champion, appeared less than fully fit and must now wait for another opportunity to secure a record 25th Grand Slam title. This marks the first time since 2017 he has failed to reach the Wimbledon final, leaving his quest to equal Roger Federer’s men’s record of eight Wimbledon crowns on hold.

“It’s a tournament I always watched when I was young on television, and I never imagined I could play here in the finals, so it’s amazing,” Sinner said.

“From my side, I served very well, felt great on court, and moved really well today. We saw in the third set that he was a bit injured. He’s been in a very difficult situation, but I tried to stay calm and play the best tennis I can.”
