Despite the challenge of an injured right elbow, No. 1 seeded Jannik Sinner triumphed over No. 10 seed Ben Shelton, earning a spot in the Wimbledon semifinals.
Three-time Grand Slam champion Jannik Sinner slipped and fell during his fourth-round match against Grigor Dimitrov, resulting in an elbow injury that significantly impacted his performance. Despite this setback, Sinner won the match after Dimitrov retired due to a torn chest muscle.
After a few days of lighter practice sessions, Sinner faced Ben Shelton and won with a score of 7-6(2), 6-4, 6-4. Sinner had only 17 unforced errors, while Shelton committed 38.
In his first Wimbledon semifinal since 2023, Sinner will face 24-time major champion Novak Djokovic or No. 22 seeded Flavio Cobolli on Friday.
