Jannik Sinner Vs Novak Djokovic Highlights, Wimbledon Semi-Final: Top Seed Sets Up Title Showdown With Carlos Alcaraz

Greetings and welcome to everyone joining us this Friday evening for some riveting tennis action. The stage is set for a thrilling encounter between top seed Jannik Sinner and the inimitable Novak Djokovic at Centre Court. Stay with us for the build-up and live updates from the men's singles semi-final.

The match will begin once the earlier semi-final between Carlos Alcaraz and Taylor Fritz ends. That clash is into its third set now, all level at one set each after the American took the second set 7-5.

The Jannik Sinner vs Novak Djokovic, Wimbledon 2025 semi-final will be live streamed on the JioHotstar app and website in India. It will be telecast on the Star Sports Network TV channels in the country.

Carlos Alcaraz leads Taylor Fritz 6-4, 5-7, 6-3 in the first gentlemen's singles semi-final. The Spaniard has bounced back strongly after the fifth seed nicked the second set. Alcaraz is now one set away from a place in his third consecutive Wimbledon final. You can follow live updates from that encounter in our dedicated blog.

The two players have squared off nine times overall on the ATP Tour, and Sinner holds the advantage with a 5-4 head-to-head record. The Italian beat Djokovic most recently in the French Open semi-final, winning in straight sets. But when it comes to Wimbledon, the Serbian has won both the face-offs, in 2022 (quarter-final) and 2023 (semi-final).

Sinner did not drop a set in his first three matches in Wimbledon 2025, dispatching Luca Nardi, Aleksandar Vukic and Pedro Martinez all in straight sets. The world number one then came up against an inspired Grigor Dimitrov, who was leading by two sets before a tragic pectoral injury cut his campaign short. The Italian then again beat Ben Shelton in the quarter-finals without breaking a sweat to enter the semis.

Carlos Alcaraz beats Taylor Fritz 6-4, 5-7, 6-3, 7-6 in the preceding men's singles semi-final. That means it's almost time for the Sinner vs Djokovic clash, as the two players stride out onto the court. Both are facing fitness issues in the lead-up to this encounter, as Djokovic fell awkwardly late on in his quarter-final against Flavio Cobolli, while Sinner injured his right elbow after slipping during his fourth-round match against Grigor Dimitrov.

And we are underway. Novak Djokovic is serving first in this encounter. The Serbian will no doubt be trying to finish points quickly as long rallies and a lengthy match will take far more out of his (38-year-old) body than that of the 23-year-old.

Sinner 0-1 Djokovic

Sinner is off to a rollicking start. He breaks Djokovic in the third game to take an early lead and consolidates his advantage with strong holds of serve. The Serbian must break Sinner in one of the latter's next two service games or lose the first set.

Sinner 4-3 Djokovic

Djokovic suffers another break of service in the opening set and that brings it to a premature end. Sinner wins it 6-3 and makes his intentions absolutely apparent at Centre Court.

Sinner 6-3 Djokovic

New set, same old Sinner. The Italian continues clinically, breaking Djokovic in the second game to re-assert his dominance. He consolidates on it with back-to-back holds and has put the erring Serbian under tremendous pressure.

Sinner 6-3, 4-1 Djokovic

Sinner is simply relentless tonight. The Italian shows no mercy to Djokovic, taking the second set with an identical scoreline as the first one and moving within a set of his first-ever Wimbledon final berth.

Sinner 6-3, 6-3 Djokovic

Djokovic comes roaring back! The Serbian benefits from medical treatment after the second set to appear a different player in the third. He breaks Sinner's serve in the second game and comes close to breaking it one more time before the Italian holds firm.

Sinner 6-3, 6-3, 3-1 Djokovic

Djokovic saves two match points to hold serve somehow in the ninth game. Sinner still has the chance to serve out the match. Can the Serbian produce something special?

Sinner 6-3, 6-3, 5-4 Djokovic

And that's that. Jannik Sinner reigns supreme with a majestic display at Centre Court. He finishes things up with an easy put-away following a big serve, and waltzes into his maiden Wimbledon final. Djokovic bows out, possibly for the last time from SW19.

Sinner 6-3, 6-3, 6-4 Djokovic

We are set for another mouthwatering title clash between Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz. After their epic showdown at Roland Garros, which the Spaniard won, the youngsters will lock horns again at Wimbledon. The gentlemen's singles final is slated for Sunday at Centre Court.
