Wimbledon 2025 Quarter-Final: Novak Djokovic Beats Flavio Cobolli To Enter Record 14th Semi-Final

Novak Djokovic came back from a set down to defeat Flavio Cobolli in four sets. Meanwhile, Jannik Sinner eased concerns about his elbow injury by comfortably beating Ben Shelton, setting up an exciting men’s semi-final at Wimbledon. Their match on Friday is a rematch of their encounter in the 2023 semi-finals, where Sinner had his best run at Wimbledon, but Djokovic won in straight sets. Fast forward two years, Sinner is now a much tougher opponent, holding the world No. 1 rank and having won three Grand Slam titles in the past 18 months. Djokovic, at 38 years old and a seven-time Wimbledon champion, is pursuing a record 25th Grand Slam title, which would put him ahead of Margaret Court.
