Jannik Sinner produced a masterclass on Centre Court to defeat Novak Djokovic 6-3, 6-3, 6-4 and reach his first Wimbledon final. The world No 1 was in complete control throughout, barely putting a foot wrong as he dismantled the seven-time champion in straight sets.
Sinner struck early in each set, serving with power and precision, and broke Djokovic five times. Despite a brief third-set surge from the Serb — who even led 3-0 at one point — Sinner’s response was emphatic. He reeled off five of the next six games, breaking twice, and served for the match at 5-4. Djokovic, urged on by an unusually supportive crowd, saved two match points with gutsy serving. But there would be no miraculous comeback this time. Sinner sealed victory with calm authority.

For Djokovic, 38, this may well have been a farewell to Wimbledon finals — a performance that marked not just a loss, but a symbolic changing of the guard. Sinner, who had lost to Djokovic here in 2022 and 2023, has now beaten him in their last three Grand Slam meetings.
The Italian will face Carlos Alcaraz in Sunday’s final. The defending champion booked his place with a thrilling four-set win over Taylor Fritz earlier in the day. It sets up a blockbuster final between the top two players in the world — a rematch of last month’s epic French Open semi-final, and potentially, a preview of tennis’s next great rivalry.
