Defending champion Jannik Sinner produced a devastating display to end Novak Djokovic’s latest bid for a standalone record 25th Grand Slam title and reach the Wimbledon final against Alexander Zverev.<\/p>\n

Just as he did at this stage last year, Sinner produced a display of power and precision to deny Djokovic in his pursuit of equalling Roger Federer’s record eight men’s singles titles at the All England Club.<\/p>\n

Sinner did not offer a break point until midway through the third set but dismissed the 39-year-old Djokovic’s only opportunity with an ace before going on to win 6-4 6-4 6-4.<\/p>\n

World number one Sinner – the first Italian player to reach multiple Wimbledon men’s singles finals – fittingly served out victory to love before embracing Djokovic at the net.<\/p>\n

It was a 99th Grand Slam match win for four-time major winner Sinner, who will face Zverev in his seventh major final after the French Open champion ended British wildcard Arthur Fery’s magnificent run<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“It’s the most special tournament we have. It means a lot to me to play another final here,” said Sinner.<\/p>\n

“Of course, playing against Novak, he is a huge inspiration – not only for you guys but for the new generation – what he is still doing is amazing, incredible.<\/p>\n

“We always have very, very tough matches. I’m very happy with this performance.”<\/p>\n

For Djokovic, cheered loudly as he exited the court, the wait to surpass Margaret Court and claim sole ownership of the all-time record for most Grand Slam singles titles won goes on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Defending champion Jannik Sinner produced a devastating display to end Novak Djokovic’s latest bid for a standalone record…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":543223,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[42,43,40,38,41,39],"class_list":["post-543222","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/543222","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=543222"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/543222\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/543223"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=543222"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=543222"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=543222"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
