World No. 1 Jannik Sinner outclasses 7-time Wimbledon champion Novak Djokovic in straight sets to set up blockbuster final with Carlos Alcaraz.
Wimbledon, July 12, 2025 – In a seismic shift at Centre Court, World No. 1 Jannik Sinner ended Novak Djokovic’s dream of a record-extending 8th Wimbledon title with a commanding 6-3, 6-3, 6-4 victory in the semi-final of Wimbledon 2025. The 23-year-old Italian has now reached his first-ever Wimbledon final and will face Carlos Alcaraz, the defending champion and World No. 2.
This defeat could mark the end of an era, as 38-year-old Djokovic, a 24-time Grand Slam champion, failed to reach the Wimbledon final for the first time since 2017.

Match Highlights:
- Sinner Dominates from Start: From the opening game, Sinner played with laser focus and pace, breaking Djokovic early and maintaining his lead throughout the first two sets.

What’s Next?
Sinner now prepares for a final showdown with Carlos Alcaraz, a repeat of their epic French Open clash earlier this year. Alcaraz leads their Grand Slam final head-to-head, but Sinner’s performance suggests he’s ready for redemption and a maiden Wimbledon title.
Meanwhile, speculation is mounting over Djokovic’s future at Wimbledon. With age catching up and younger stars rising fast, the 2025 edition may well be his swan song at the All England Club.
