Sinner Demolishes Djokovic to Set Up Wimbledon Final With Zverev

Reigning champion Jannik Sinner clinically swept aside record-chasing Novak Djokovic in the Wimbledon semifinals to set up a title showdown with Alexander Zverev.

The world number one on Friday powered to a brilliant 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 victory on Centre Court over the 39-year-old Djokovic, whose latest bid for a 25th Grand Slam hit a now-familiar stumbling block.

Sinner has not dropped a set in the tournament since needing a decider to see off Miomir Kecmanovic in a rusty first-round showing after not playing a grass court event in the build-up to Wimbledon for the first time.

The 24-year-old Italian will be favoured to retain the title when he faces French Open champion Zverev in his seventh major final, after winning his last nine meetings with the German world number three.
