Highlights

Sinner Sinks Djokovic

Jannik Sinner powered into his maiden Wimbledon ultimate, defeating a hobbled Novak Djokovic 6-3, 6-3, 6-4 in a medical 1-hour, 55-minute semi-final.

Sadly, this was clear from the primary couple of video games; there was just one winner, as Djokovic wasn’t capable of assert himself from the baseline.

The Serb was hampered by a left thigh harm from his quarter-final towards Flavio Cobolli, and struggled with lateral motion. He, after all, produced patches of excellent tennis and competed exhausting as all the time, however he solely had two break-point probabilities all through.

Regardless of a 3-0 lead within the third that gave Djokovic a glimmer of hope, he faltered as Sinner reeled off 5 straight video games earlier than taking his third match level with a commanding serve to guide his spot in Sunday’s ultimate.

The pre-match betting put Sinner because the 70/30 favorite, and the fact is that Sinner shouldn’t be a great matchup for post-prime Djokovic, even when he’s totally match.

On my facet, I served very nicely right this moment. I felt nice on courtroom. I used to be transferring a lot better right this moment, and I believe all of us noticed, particularly within the third set, that he was a bit injured. He fell within the final couple of factors within the quarter-finals. He was in a really troublesome scenario, however I attempted to remain calm and tried to play the very best tennis I can, particularly within the essential moments Sinner on his win.
