Novak Djokovic went up against one of the sport’s most powerful young players Friday and fell to Jannik Sinner in the Wimbledon semifinal round Friday. The 38-year-old Djokovic was hoping to get a chance to compete against superstar Carlos Alcaraz in the championship Sunday, but Sinner dominated in a 6-3, 6-3, 6-4 triumph.

Jannik Sinner overwhelmed a not-fully-fit Novak Djokovic in the Wimbledon semifinals to set up a rematch with Carlos Alcaraz of their epic French Open final four weeks ago.

By Martyn Herman LONDON (Reuters) -Top seed Jannik Sinner ensured Novak Djokovic will be absent from a Wimbledon men's singles final for the first time in eight years after handing the Serbian great a brutal Centre Court battering on Friday.
