In the quarterfinals, Sinner was too strong for the American Ben Shelton in three sets. It became 7-6 (2) 6-4 6-4. The Italian played with an awarded right arm. Earlier this week, the Italian sustained an injury to his elbow after an unfortunate fall in the match against Grigor Dimitrov.

In that match, Sinner looked at a 2-0 deficit in sets, but benefited from the withdrawal of Dimitrov and thus made the quarterfinals. Sinner seemed to have little trouble with his arm. “I am very happy with my performance,” Sinner said afterwards. “If you are in a competition with a lot of tension, you don’t try to think about it,” he was referring to his injury. “It has become much better since yesterday.”
Sinner also reached the semi -final in Wimbledon in 2023. That is his best performance in London so far. Sinner already won the Australian Open twice and once the US open. This year he lost the final of Roland Garros to Carlos Alcaraz.

Djokovic, who is placed sixth, hunts the London grass on his 25th grand slam title. He would only become a record holder. Now he shares 24 titles with the Australian Margaret Court. In the last two editions of Wimbledon, he lost the final of Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz.
Djokovic won Wimbledon for the first time in 2011 after he had already reached the semi -finals twice. From 2018 he won the tournament four times in a row. The 2020 edition was canceled because of the Coronapandemie.
