Sinner, who was bidding to follow in the footsteps of compatriot Matteo Berrettini who reached last year's final, showed why he is being tipped as a future Grand Slam champion but he faded in the face of a Djokovic onslaught. But he kept alive the prospect of facing second seed Nadal in Sunday's final with a superb comeback, the seventh time in his career he has triumphed after losing the first two sets. In the end, there was an air of inevitability about the outcome as the battle-hardened 35-year-old seized control to reach his 43rd Grand Slam semi-final and 11th at Wimbledon.

The defending champion Novak Djokovic gave himself a 'pep talk' before reeling off three sets in a row to reach the Wimbledon semi-finals with victory over ...
I had a little refreshment and a little pep talk in the mirror. True to his pedigree, Djokovic wound up the show with the sort of commanding presence he has brought to his tennis since he entered the Tour 19 years and 20 majors ago. Yet, until the closing stages, there was little between them, apart from 15 years’ of elite experience and 82 titles.

The top seed sealed the sole break of the third set before he raced into an unassailable 4-0 lead in the fourth to force a decider. Despite a couple of magic moments in the third set from Sinner — the Italian capped an epic point with a backhand lob in the seventh game and fended off a set point for the Serbian with a stunning angled retrieval of a Djokovic drop shot —Djokovic’s groundstrokes clicked into gear. Djokovic had started confidently on Centre Court as he broke Sinner’s serve on the way to a 4-1 lead early.
After dropping the first two sets to the young Italian player, Djokovic rallied to win three straight sets.
In the third game, with a chance to break Sinner’s serve and his spirit decisively, Djokovic spread shots back and forth across the baseline, making Sinner hit one more shot and then another until the young Italian cut a volley into the net. He even cracked a smile when a champagne cork popped just before his serve late in the fourth set, breaking the silence and forcing him to pause and reload. Djokovic grunts and grinds his way through the points he wants and needs. Djokovic left the court for a break — a snack and a pep talk in the bathroom mirror. On his best shots, Djokovic put a finger to his ear or flapped his hands to the sky asking for more noise from the crowd. A congratulatory roar rose from the crowd when Sinner managed to get on the scoreboard, but Djokovic still surged to a 3-0 lead.

Sinner, relentlessly unleashing winners from all corners of the court, stunned the top seed again with breaks in the third and seventh games on his way to a two-set lead. I felt that the beginning of the third set is crucial to start well, try to break his serve early. “I just felt like I had to change something. I was not playing well, I was not feeling well on the court, I was dominated by Sinner. “It was just a matter of momentum shift. I know the experience I have could eventually prevail in these kind of situations,” said six-time champion Djokovic.
Novak Djokovic came from two sets down to sensationally defeat Jannik Sinner 5-7 2-6 6-3 6-2 6-2 in a thrilling quarter-final.
It was unfortunate for him but I wish him best of luck for the rest of the year. Sinner was on the backfoot in the rally before he sent a forehand long. In his on-court interview, Djokovic said: “Can I take you through the third, fourth and fifth sets not the first two! With the World No.1 floundering, Djokovic needed to step up a gear and he did exactly that. To the delight of thousands of fans packed into a raucous Centre Court, Sinner clearly hadn't read the script. However, the young Italian put in a performance that belied his years but he ultimately ran out of steam as the Serb battled back from two sets down.
