Jannik Sinner vs Novak Djokovic, Wimbledon 2026 Semi-Final: That’s it from Centre Court, and what a statement from Jannik Sinner. The defending champion has ended Novak Djokovic’s latest pursuit of a record-breaking 25th Grand Slam title with a near-flawless performance, dismantling the seven-time Wimbledon winner in straight sets 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 to reach a second consecutive final at the All England Club. For almost two hours, Sinner was simply untouchable. He didn’t face a single break point, served and struck the ball with authority, leaving even Djokovic searching for answers. You could sense the physical toll of the fortnight catching up with Djokovic. After spending more than 16 hours on court, including that epic five-set quarterfinal against Felix Auger-Aliassime, the 39-year-old looked a step slower than usual against an opponent who gave him no room to breathe. Now a blockbuster Wimbledon 2026 final against Alexander Zverev on Sunday awaits for the defending champion. One more win would give Sinner a fifth Grand Slam title and a successful defence of his Wimbledon crown.
Defending champion Jannik Sinner has advanced to the Wimbledon final after a 6-4, 6-4, 6-3 victory over Novak Djokovic on Centre Court.
Sinner controlled the tempo throughout the match, using his heavy, sliding cross-court backhands to keep the 39-year-old Serbian on the defensive. The world number one was nearly untouchable on his own serve, firing 14 aces and saving the only break point he faced in the final set to seal the win. With this result, Sinner keeps his title defense alive and will face Alexander Zverev in Sunday's championship match.
