Champions' Path to the Semi-Finals
World No.1 Jannik Sinner is defending his maiden grass-court title, which he won against Carlos Alcaraz last year. Alcaraz, the world No.2, is absent due to injury. Novak Djokovic, at 39, is seeking a record-equalling eighth Wimbledon crown, which would tie Roger Federer's record. Djokovic already surpassed Federer's record for most men's matches won at Wimbledon after beating Roman Safiullin in the fourth round.
Both players faced scares en route. Sinner was taken to five sets by Miomir Kecmanovic in the first round. Djokovic dropped a set in every match except his second-round win over Stefanos Tsitsipas.
Head-to-Head Record
The two have met 11 times, with Sinner leading 6-5. Djokovic won their most recent encounter in the Australian Open semi-finals, a five-set thriller, before losing to Alcaraz in the final. On grass at Wimbledon, they have played three times. Sinner won last year's semi-final in straight sets. Djokovic won the previous two meetings: the 2022 quarter-final and the 2023 semi-final.
Djokovic is aiming for his first major title since the 2023 US Open, which brought his Grand Slam tally to 24. Sinner seeks to defend his title and secure his second Grand Slam.
