Jannik Sinner delivered a commanding performance to dismantle seven-time champion Novak Djokovic in straight, storming into his first Wimbledon final with a 6-3, 6-3, 6-4 victory on Centre Court.
With the win, the 23-year-old world No. 1 advances to his fourth consecutive Grand Slam final and marks his maiden appearance in a Wimbledon title match. Awaiting him is a familiar rival — defending champion Carlos Alcaraz — in what promises to be the latest thrilling chapter in their fast-growing rivalry.
Sinner will be eager to settle the score after a heartbreaking loss to Alcaraz in last month’s Roland-Garros final, where he let slip three championship points in a five-set epic. Between them, the young superstars have now captured the last six Grand Slam titles, cementing their place at the forefront of men’s tennis.
For Djokovic, the defeat marks a rare stumble. The 37-year-old, reportedly not at full fitness, saw his quest for a record 25th Grand Slam title — and a record-equalling eighth Wimbledon crown — come to an end. It’s the first time since 2017 that the Serbian great has not reached the final at SW19.
Sunday’s final now promises to be a generational showcase — and potentially a defining moment in the Sinner-Alcaraz rivalry.
