Jannik Sinner did well to defeat the seven-time Wimbledon champion Novak Djokovic 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 to record his place in the Wimbledon singles final. The world No. 1 avenged his Australian Open semifinal loss to Djokovic and showed he has recovered from the disappointment of his French Open campaign. Sinner will now defend his Wimbledon title against Alexander Zverev in Sunday’s final.Earlier, Alexander Zverev beat British wildcard Arthur Fery 7-6 (7-0), 6-2, 6-4 to reach the Wimbledon final, just a month after winning his first Grand Slam title at the French Open.“This Grand Slam has always been the one I’ve struggled with the most and suddenly I’m in the finals at Wimbledon,” Zverev said. “We’ve got one more game to go on Sunday and that’s what we’re looking for.”Looking ahead to the title fight, the German remained confident.“It’s not going to be easy no matter who it’s against,” Zverev said. “But I have to believe in myself and I have to believe that I can win and that’s what I have to do.”
Praise Arthur Fery
Although Zverev ended Arthur Fery’s dream, he was highly praised by the 23-year-old British player, who reached the finals as a wildcard.“I think this was just the beginning of his career and I think he will do amazing things in this match,” Zverev said.He also praised the Wimbledon crowd despite almost everyone cheering for the home favourite.“I know that 99.99% of the stadium wanted Arthur to win. But it’s still an amazing situation. It was also a great team,” said Zverev.“Many crowds in the world can emulate this crowd. He is one of the best people to play tennis in front.”The final will see Sinner and Zverev fight for the Wimbledon title in what promises to be a blockbuster showdown.
