Jannik Sinner Eases Elbow Concerns, Eyes Semifinal Showdown With Novak Djokovic
3 of 6
Any concerns about Jannik Sinner's elbow were quickly brushed aside on Wednesday when the three-time major champion defeated Ben Shelton, 7-6(2), 6-4, 6-4, to reach his second career Wimbledon semifinal.
The first set was a serving masterclass that needed 53 minutes and a tiebreaker for a victor to emerge.
Each player won 90 percent of points on first serve, but for Shelton, that number dropped to 33 percent on second serve, compared to Sinner's 90 percent.
In the tiebreaker, Shelton struggled to hit his first serve, which allowed the world No. 1 to put the American on the defensive end early and dictate pace.
In the first set, the Italian hit 15 winners and committed just one unforced error, compared to Shelton's 15 unforced errors.
Shelton opened the second set with two break point opportunities.
However, Sinner remained unfazed and managed to escape.
Those were the only two breakpoint opportunities that Shelton had during the entire set.
Sinner continued to serve remarkably well, then broke Shelton up 5-4 to take a two-set lead.
Much like the first set, there was only one difference that stood out: consistency.
The 10-seed played with similar baseline aggression to Sinner but was unable to keep up as rallies intensified, committing eight more unforced errors.
In the third set, Sinner broke once more before claiming victory.
After a sluggish performance against Grigor Dimitrov, who was forced to retire due to a pectoral injury, the 23-year-old got back on track today in impressive fashion.
Sinner won 89 percent of points behind his first serve, hit 21 fewer errors than the American, and found consistent success at the net.
In the semifinal, he'll face Novak Djokovic, who is eyeing a record-breaking 25th Grand Slam title.
Novak Djokovic Reaches Yet Another Wimbledon Semifinal
4 of 6
Novak Djokovic defeated Flavio Cobolli, 6-7(6), 6-2, 7-5, to reach the Wimbledon semifinal for the seventh consecutive year and inch one step closer to winning a record-breaking 25th Grand Slam title.
Despite making his first appearance at a major semifinal, Cobolli was undeterred by the bright lights and broke Djokovic, who was serving for the set at 5-3, before emerging victorious in a tie-breaker to take a one-set lead.
But as he seemingly always does, Djokovic battled right back.
Djokovic needed just 26 minutes to win the second set, winning 93 percent of points on his first serve while committing just two unforced errors.
The five-seed then broke Cobolli right away to begin the fourth set, but the Italian quickly returned the favor.
However, a late break allowed Djokovic to serve for the set and take a two-set-to-one lead.
Then in the third set, Djokovic used his relentless defense and a little help from Cobolli, who missed a volley at 30-40, to break once more and serve out the match.
Djokovic raced to a 40-15 lead in his next service game but squandered both match points, the latter of which he fell on the grass and was down for a second.
However, after he picked himself back up, the 38-year-old won back-to-back points to clinch his spot in the Wimbledon semifinal for the 14th time in his career.
In the semifinal, Djokovic will face Jannik Sinner, who he is 2-0 against at Wimbledon.
However, the top-ranked Italian has won the pair's last four matches.
Iga Swiatek Reaches Wimbledon Semifinal For First Time In Career
5 of 6
Iga Swiatek’s surprising run on grass has reached uncharted territory.
The five-time major champion defeated Liudmila Samsonova 6-2, 7-5, reaching the Wimbledon semifinal for the first time in her career.
Swiatek dominated the first set, winning 100 percent of points on her first serve while playing a stellar return game.
Her ability to generate aggression on second-serve returns proved to be the difference, as she won eight of 11 points on the Russian's second serve, breaking in consecutive games to seize the set.
In the second set, Samsonova double-faulted on consecutive points, handing the break to Swiatek.
Samsonova had an opening in her next return game, with four break point opportunities; however, Swiatek managed to save all four with her stellar baseline aggression before taking a 3-0 lead.
But Samsonova broke the Pole's next service game to keep herself in the set.
Swiatek returned the favor after a Samsonova double fault to take a 4-2 lead.
But the Pole failed to capitalize on the opportunity and, after having three game points, was broken once more.
After holding on to take a 6-5 lead, Swiatek broke back to clinch her spot in the last four at the All England Club.
The former world No. 1 has dropped just one set all tournament and, on Thursday, will face Belinda Bencic, who defeated Mirra Andreeva to also reach her first Wimbledon semifinal.
Belinda Bencic Stuns Mirra Andreeva
6 of 6
For the first time since 1998, the Wimbledon semifinals will feature a Swiss woman.
Belinda Bencic dispatched seventh-seed Mirra Andreeva, 7-6(3), 7-6(2), to reach her first major semifinal since the 2019 US Open.
Both players continued to trade holds until the end of the first set, where Andreeva had two break point opportunities to take a 6-5 lead.
Andreeva did not face a single break point in the first set but struggled to stay consistent before losing in a tiebreaker.
In the second set, Andreeva continued to commit unforced errors, staving off two break point opportunities to escape her second service game unscathed.
After saving a break point, Bencic grabbed the first break of the match.
But Andreeva quickly returned the favor when Bencic was serving for the match at 5-4.
The second set ultimately ended up in another tiebreaker, where, similar to the first, Bencic grabbed a crucial mini-break to advance in straight sets.
Andreeva entered the quarterfinal match in remarkable form after not dropping a set in her first four matches.
But the 18-year-old struggled with dips in play on Wednesday, committing 37 unforced errors to Bencic's 24 errors.
While many expected to see a potential showdown between the world No. 7 and Iga Swiatek, it'll instead be the Swiss who is moving on to her second career major semifinal.
