Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic remain on track for their potential Wimbledon semifinal

Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic made it through the quarterfinals but in different circumstances. Djokovic started poorly against Alex de Minaur, losing the first set 6-1. The second set was filled with service breaks, but the Serb held out to a 6-4 win. He kept the momentum, winning the third set with a similar scoreline. Even though De Minaur had a 4-1 lead in the fourth set, the Serb rallied back, winning five consecutive games to close out the match.

Meanwhile, Sinner was in all sorts of trouble against Dimitrov as the Italian lost the first two sets. Dimitrov used an early break to win the first set and got one at the beginning of the second set as well. Even though Sinner broke back, Dimitrov led the Italian 6-3, 7-5. However, at 2-2, the Bulgarian suffered a pectoral muscle injury, causing him to retire.

The other victors of the day were tenth seed Ben Shelton, who won 3-6, 6-1, 7-6 (1), 7-5, and the 22nd seed, Flavio Cobolli who reached his maiden Major quarterfinal, winning 6-4, 6-4, 6-7 (4), 7-6 (3) against former runner-up Marin Cilic.

Sagnik, a Mass Communication and Journalism graduate, is a tennis journalist at Sportskeeda. Before finding his spot in the tennis writing team, he worked as a junior content specialist for academic content writing firms for a couple of years.

Before putting out any information in the public domain, Sagnik makes sure that every element of his content is well-researched and backed with credible data so that there is no misinterpretation of facts or quotes and ethical standards are maintained. To do so, Sagnik follows reputed websites like the Tennis Channel and Tennis TV, and renowned journalists on social media.

He is a fan of former player Roger Federer, and just like his favorite player, Sagnik likes to bring perfection to his write-ups by providing concise and on-point content. Speaking of the ‘GOAT’ debate, Sagnik believes that it is a bit unfair to compare the legends of the game from different eras who have played on different terms. But if he were to pick one, he’d go for Novak Djokovic based on his tally of 24 Grand Slam titles.

When not writing about tennis and technically analyzing the sport, which he believes are his 'forte', Sagnik indulges in reading books.
