Wimbledon Semifinals Set as Sinner Draws Djokovic and Wildcard Fery Meets Zverev

Djokovic's five-hour quarterfinal win raises doubts about his recovery for the Friday semifinal.

Overview

  • The men’s semifinal lineups are confirmed for Friday with defending champion and world No. 1 Jannik Sinner facing Novak Djokovic and British wildcard Arthur Fery meeting Alexander Zverev.
  • Novak Djokovic reached the last four after a 5-hour 15-minute, five-set quarterfinal that was decided by a super tie-break and extended his Wimbledon records, including his 55th Grand Slam semifinal and his 15th Wimbledon semi.
  • Jannik Sinner advanced in straight sets, beating Jan-Lennard Struff 7-5, 7-6 (7-4), 6-3, keeping him on course to defend the title he won last year.
  • Arthur Fery’s run from a tournament wild card to the semifinals is a rare breakthrough that guarantees him more than $1 million in prize money and a large jump in the ATP rankings.
  • Alexander Zverev reached the semifinals by defeating Taylor Fritz and the schedule and recent match lengths leave recovery and fatigue as key factors to watch for both the Sinner–Djokovic rematch and the Fery–Zverev contest.
