Top seed Jannik Sinner ensured Novak Djokovic will be absent from a Wimbledon men's singles final for the first time in eight years after handing the Serbian great a brutal Centre Court battering on Friday.

Jannik Sinner overwhelmed a not-fully-fit Novak Djokovic 6-3, 6-3, 6-4 in the Wimbledon semifinals on Friday to set up a showdown for the championship against Carlos Alcaraz. The No. 1-ranked Sinner's victory at Centre Court put him in his first final at the All England Club.

Novak Djokovic suffered pain, both physical and emotional, in the Wimbledon semifinals on Friday. The emotional pain comes from another lost chance at his 25th career Grand Slam. Djokovic had made six straight Wimbledon finals until this year when he fell to Jannik Sinner in three sets.
