Current champion Sinner defeated

If there were any questions over Jannik Sinner’s physical condition after her loss at the French Open, they should now be answered.

Sinner defeated seven-time champion Novak Djokovic 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 to reach the Wimbledon final on Friday – showing the kind of dominance he had shown before his second-round defeat in Paris.

It was a measure of revenge for Sinner after Djokovic won their last match in this year’s Australian Open semi-finals in five sets.

For Djokovic, 39, it was another missed chance to add to his record total of 24 Grand Slam titles.

Aiming to defend his title at a grass-court Grand Slam, the top-ranked Sinner will face second-seeded Alexander Zverev in Sunday’s final.

Zverev ended the “fairytale” run of British wild card Arthur Ferry with an emphatic 7-6(0), 6-2, 6-4 victory in the first on Center Court.

Zverev will be playing for another major trophy a month after winning his first Grand Slam title at Roland Garros.

Two Czech players, Karolina Muchova, will face Linda Noskova in the women’s final on Saturday.
