Novak Djokovic sets up a mouth-watering semi-final against Italian top seed Jannik Sinner after coming through a tricky encounter against Flavio Cobolli.

The seven-time winner and reigning men’s world No1 are due to clash on Centre Court on Friday for a place in the final at the All England Club, while defending back-to-back champion Carlos Alcaraz meets American fifth seed Taylor Fritz.

Sinner in fact dropped a record-low 17 games on his way to the fourth round of Wimbledon, beating Roger Federer’s long-standing tally of 19 from 2004. Sinner was without doubt the standout player in the first week of the tournament. Speaking after his opening win, BBC commentator John Lloyd said he was ‘impossible to play against’.
