On Friday, Djokovic will try to reach his seventh consecutive final at the All England Club and get closer to equaling Roger Federer’s men’s mark of eight trophies there. The other men’s semifinal is two-time defending champion Carlos Alcaraz, who defeated Djokovic in the 2023 and 2024 finals, against Taylor Fritz.

Novak Djokovic defeated Flavio Cobolli 6-7 (6), 6-2, 7-5, 6-4 on Wednesday to reach his 14th Wimbledon semifinal, breaking a tie with Roger Federer for the most among men in tournament history.

Djokovic, who is looking for a record-equaling eighth Wimbledon title and a record-breaking 25th Grand Slam title, battled and then surged past the Italian No. 22 seed Cobolli 6-7 (6), 6-2, 7-5, 6-4 to set up Friday’s date with Sinner.
