Victory in three sets for the Italian against the Serbian champion. On Sunday he can repeat his success in 2025 if he beats the German Zverev
A great Djokovic, a amazing Sinner. Uone of the best matches played by the Italian in 2026 and the same result as last year’s semi-final at Wimbledon. Only three sets: 6-4,6-4,6-4. AND an absolute ruler, Jannik imposed his game from the beginning, he played as a defending champion, showing off his entire repertoire. Djokovic tried to keep the pace high, he tried to play on par with Sinner but at 39 the Serbian has already worked miracles to get this far. Nole made tennis history, but nowor Sinner is making history and Djokovic knows it very well. He also tried to change his game from the middle of the second set onwards by choosing to come to the net more and more often, but in front of him he had the player who knows how to respond best and this tactic didn’t work either. The match never changed, there was not a single moment in which Djokovic gave the impression of being able to reopen it as evidenced by a sensational statistical data: Djokovic only had one break point in the whole match and Sinner canceled it, but the South Tyrolean Edra was already ahead by a break in the third set.
Hunt for an encore
Sunday at 5pm Sinner has the chance to repeat last year’s success against Carlos Alcaraz. This time his opponent will be Alexander Zverev who in the other semi-final beat the Englishman Fery in three sets. Sinner has won the last nine direct matches, but this year the German triumphed at Roland Garros, freeing himself from the Slam taboo. Sinner, champion of four major titles, has a chance to become the 10th player to repeat at Wimbledon in two consecutive years. Once again, the serve was decisive in Sinner’s victory: 16 aces, 65% of first serves and 88% of points with the first ball.
Jannik’s happiness
“It’s great to be back in the final, Novak demonstrates his authentic inspiration not only for the public but also for the new generations. We’ve always had close matcheswe had to adapt a little, he had a tough match with Felix and I tried to be aggressive and serve well. I am satisfied. At the beginning at Wimbledon it’s always difficult, every round is different because the grass changes so much. The mentality was to raise the level and today I did that.” “I tried to be aggressive and serve well against the best returner we have on the circuit. I tried to mix things up so I’m satisfied,” he continued. “It’s always difficult at the beginning, the grass changes a lot, you have to adapt. The mentality today was to raise the level and I did. I’m happy with where I am, I’m happy to be back in the final.”
