Jannik Sinner produced a commanding performance to defeat the seven-time Wimbledon champion Novak Djokovic 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 and reserve his place in the Wimbledon masculine singular ending. THE world No. 1 avenged his Australian Open semi-final loss to Djokovic and showed he has fully bounced back from his disappointing French Open campaign. Sinner will now defend his Wimbledon title against Alexander Zverev in Sunday’s final.Earlier in the day, Alexander Zverev defeated British wildcard Arthur Fery 7-6 (7-0), 6-2, 6-4 to reach his first Wimbledon final, just a month after winning his first Grand Slam title at the French Open.“This Grand Slam has always been the one I’ve struggled with the most and suddenly I’m in the Wimbledon final,” Zverev said. “We’ve got another game to go on Sunday and that’s the focus.”Looking ahead to the title clash, the German remained confident.“It’s not going to be easy, no matter who it’s against,” Zverev said. “But I have to trust myself and I have to believe that I can win and that’s what I have to do.”
Praise for Arthur Fery
Although Zverev ended Arthur Fery’s dream, he had plenty of praise for the 23-year-old British player, who reached the semi-finals as a wildcard.“I think this was just the beginning of his career and I really think he’s going to do amazing things in this sport,” Zverev said.He also applauded the Wimbledon crowd despite almost all cheering for the home favorite.“We know 99.99% of the stadium wanted Arthur to win. But it was still an incredible atmosphere. It was such a great crowd too,” Zverev said.“A lot of crowds in the world can take an example from this crowd. It is one of the best crowds to play tennis in front of.”The final will see Sinner and Zverev battle it out for the Wimbledon title in what promises to be a blockbuster showdown.
