Janik Siner easily defeated Novak Djokovic 6:4, 6:4, 6:4 and advanced to the Wimbledon final. The world number one came close to defending his title with a dominant performance
The match started with several safe service games, and the Serbian tennis player Novak Đoković he managed to cancel the first break point for the rival. Admittedly, he didn't even manage to stop the Italian - and his torture soon continued, writes Sport Club.
At a crucial moment, the first racket of the planet used the third opportunity to take away the 39-year-old's serve, and then served for the lead. He seemed really dominant from the baseline, dictated the pace and deservedly won the first set.
In the following, Djokovic had several half-chances, the biggest at 0:30 when he led 3:2. The 24-year-old got away without facing a break chance, and Nolet's brave backhand, which ended in a small out, will especially hurt. Had the ball hooked the line, the seven-time champion would have had two break points.
Soon, a harsh punishment arrived - now from Janik's fourth attempt. Soon after, the boy from South Tyrol won the second set, in a similar way to the first. It was clear then that an almost impossible task awaits Djokovic in the future.
Already in the first game of the third set, Siner reached a new break, so even then any dilemma about the outcome of the duel was removed. Djokovic managed to get the first and only opportunity to break after almost two hours of play, but his opponent mercilessly took it away with two aces.
Every time Sinner got a sniff that the seventh seed might have any hope of getting back into the match, a few service bombs would follow. An extraordinary level of tennis, he played like a machine and finished the job in two hours and 19 minutes.
There is no doubt that the best ever achieved great success in his 40th year by reaching the semi-finals after a new epic marathon, but his rival drastically raised his level compared to the rest of the tournament. Nole was not in his element either, and there was no nervousness either - it was clear to the Serb that he had no chance in these circumstances.
The four-time Grand Slam champion, fighting for his second All England Club trophy, will meet Alexander Zverev on Sunday. After the title at Roland Garros, the German greatly improved his best result in London, and is currently on a streak of 13 victories at slams - with a complete collection of finals of all major tournaments.
Saša completed the collection of finals at all four slams with his triumph over Arturo Feri. In mutual duels with Janik, he loses 10:4, with a discouraging nine straight defeats - the last six without winning a set.
