Wimbledon fans are in for a blockbuster Friday as Italy’s Jannik Sinner gears up to face Novak Djokovic in a high-stakes semi-final. The two met just over a month ago at Roland Garros, where Sinner stunned the 24-time Grand Slam champion in straight sets 6-4, 7-5, 7-6(3), halting Djokovic’s quest for a record 25th major title.
Since then, Sinner has notched four consecutive wins over the Serbian legend, including that French Open shocker. But the world No. 1 isn’t taking anything for granted. “I’ve never beaten Novak here at Wimbledon,” Sinner said after defeating Ben Shelton in the quarters. “It’s going to be a very, very tough challenge,” he added.
Djokovic, eyeing his eighth Wimbledon title, is equally fired up. “Competing with the young guys makes me feel young,” he quipped after his win over Flavio Cobolli. “Facing Sinner will be a great, great match,” the Serbian said.
So whichever streak breaks – Sinner’s winning run or Djokovic’s unmatched grass-court dominance — one thing is certain: Centre Court will witness a generational showdown.

Suryakumar Yadav at Wimbledon to support his ‘inspiration’
India T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav said he has come to watch and support his “inspiration” Serbian tennis icon Novak Djokovic in the semifinals of ongoing 2025 edition of the Wimbledon tennis tournament.
Speaking at JioHotstar, Suryakumar said, “I have definitely come to watch Novak Djokovic. I have been following his career for a very long time. I even read his book ‘Serve to Win’, which really inspired me. I made my international cricket debut a little later in life, though not quite as late as 30, but I could really relate to his journey and perseverance. The way he keeps going is phenomenal.”
Djokovic took one step closer to record-levelling eighth-time Wimbledon glory as he battled past Flavio Cobolli to advance to a record 14th semifinal at the tournament on Wednesday.
