In the men’s singles semifinals, world No. 1 Jannik Sinner ended an injury-plagued Novak Djokovic‘s run of success, securing a Wimbledon 2025 summit matchup with Carlos Alcaraz at the All England Club here on Friday.

Sinner qualified to the finals by beating a physically injured Djokovic 6-3, 6-3, 6-4. Sinner lost three championship points to Alcaraz in the Roland Garros final last month. The two will now face off again on Sunday at the famous Centre Court of the All England Club.

When asked about making it to his first Wimbledon final, Sinner responded, “I can’t believe it.” When I was little, I used to watch this event on TV all the time. It’s incredible because I never would have thought I would be able to play here in the final. I am aware of the amount of effort my staff is making. Today is made even more special by the arrival of my brother and dad.

Sinner was normally clinical in finishing his one-hour, 55-minute victory in the last four, but Djokovic’s movement was significantly below his usual best following an injury he sustained late in his quarterfinal victory over Flavio Cobolli. The No. 1 in the ATP Rankings was accurate on serve, with the exception of a mistake early in the third set that put him behind 0-3.

Sinner made his final appearances at all four Grand Slam events after defeating Djokovic. In the Open Era, he is the eleventh guy to accomplish that. The 23-year-old has now defeated Djokovic five times in a row, including Grand Slam semifinal victories at the Australian Open in 2024, Roland Garros in 2025, and Wimbledon.

In the third game of the match, Sinner, the current US Open and Australian Open champion, dealt Djokovic a blow by breaking his serve, and he easily swept to a two-set lead with no danger. Sinner repeated his spectacular serving outburst against Shelton, hitting the ball cleanly off both wings. Eight of the 17 points the World No. 1 gave up on serve during the match came in his first two service games of the third set.

The American fifth seed, who had come off two five-set wins and was hoping to become the first American man to make it to the Wimbledon final since Andy Roddick in 2009, pushed the two-time reigning champion Alcaraz to the edge. However, Alcaraz once again demonstrated his championship skills, having perfected the ability of rising in the most tense situations.

Fritz leveled the match after the Spaniard wobbled briefly at the end of the second set. Alcaraz swiftly recovered, though, and took the lead again in the third with his signature combination of force, touch, and unrelenting court coverage.
