Kostyuk Beats Paolini as Sinner Prepares to Face Djokovic in Wimbledon Semifinal

Sinner, already qualified for the ATP Finals, meets Novak Djokovic Friday after Djokovic's five‑hour quarterfinal win.

Overview

  • Marta Kostyuk defeated Jasmine Paolini 6-3, 6-2 on Wednesday to reach the Wimbledon semifinals and will face Linda Noskova next.
  • Jannik Sinner reached the men's semifinal and his quarterfinal win secured a mathematical spot at the 2026 ATP Finals in Turin.
  • Novak Djokovic advanced to the semis by beating Felix Auger-Aliassime in a five-set match that lasted about 5 hours and 15 minutes, raising questions about his recovery time ahead of Friday's clash with Sinner.
  • Flavio Cobolli remained in the draw and was scheduled to play British wild-card Arthur Fery as the second match on Centre Court after Paolini's match, with live coverage in Italy on Sky Sport and streaming on NOW and Sky Go.
  • Kostyuk's run and Sinner-Djokovic set up contrasting storylines for the final rounds: a breakthrough charge in the women's draw and a marquee, physically charged semifinal that will shape momentum and rankings for the rest of the season.
