Overview

  • Jannik Sinner defeated Novak Djokovic 6-3, 6-3, 6-4 to end Djokovic’s bid to equal Roger Federer’s eight Wimbledon titles.
  • Djokovic’s left leg, hurt by a fall in the quarterfinals, required on-court treatment and limited his movement against Sinner.
  • The 38-year-old champion confirmed he plans at least one more Wimbledon appearance despite his semifinal exit.
  • Carlos Alcaraz reached the July 13 final by beating Taylor Fritz 6-4, 5-7, 6-3, 7-6 (8/6), setting up a rematch of their Roland Garros decider.
  • This will be only the eighth time in the Open Era that the same pair have contested both Roland Garros and Wimbledon finals in the same year.
