Sinner Cruises Past Djokovic to Reach Wimbledon Final

The dominant straight-sets victory gives Sinner a chance to defend his Wimbledon title on Sunday.

Overview

  • Jannik Sinner beat Novak Djokovic 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 to reach the Wimbledon final in a two-hour, 20-minute semifinal that ended on Friday.
  • Sinner’s serving was the match’s decisive factor as he fired 16 aces, won 44 of 50 first-serve points, and did not face a break point for nearly two hours.
  • Alexander Zverev reached the other final by defeating British wildcard Arthur Fery 7-6(0), 6-2, 6-4, setting up a Sunday title match between the world No. 1 and the French Open champion.
  • After the loss Djokovic denied plans to retire and said he would like to return to Wimbledon at least once more, while acknowledging Sinner was simply a level above on the day.
  • Sinner now leads Djokovic 7-5 head-to-head and holds a 10-4 advantage against Zverev with nine straight wins, framing the final as both a title defense for Sinner and a chance for Zverev to follow Paris with Wimbledon.
