Jannik Sinner progressed to the quarter-finals of Wimbledon 2025 after an emotional match against Grigor Dimitrov, who was forced to retire due to injury while leading 6-3, 7-5, 2-2. The world number one faced a scare as he was trailing before Dimitrov clutched his right pectoral muscle and could not continue, marking a heartbreaking moment for both players, especially for Dimitrov, who has now retired in each of his last five Grand Slam appearances, according to Reuters and BBC.

Sinner, who is focusing on his own injury concerns, "doesn't take this as a win at all" and expressed deep sympathy for his close friend, stating, "I think we all saw how much he cares about the sport." Sinner dashed to Dimitrov's side as he was attended to, and emphasized the unfortunate nature of the incident, which overshadowed his advancement in the tournament, according to South China Morning Post and India Times.

In addition to his emotional distress, Sinner was facing a potential injury concern of his own, having hurt his right elbow earlier in the match due to a fall. He indicated the injury might influence his upcoming practice sessions as he canceled his scheduled session to assess the situation, revealing that he would undergo an MRI scan, according to India Times, Reuters, and BBC.

Meanwhile, in another key match, Novak Djokovic managed to recover from a shaky start to defeat Alex de Minaur, advancing to the quarter-finals for the 16th time. This victory keeps Djokovic in pursuit of his 25th major title, and he is set to face Italian 22nd seed Flavio Cobolli next, who defeated Marin Cilic. Djokovic's resilience was notable as he aims to equal Roger Federer's record of eight Wimbledon titles, according to South China Morning Post and Reuters.
