  • Novak Djokovic reached his record 14th Wimbledon semi-final by beating Flavio Cobolli.
  • World number one Jannik Sinner claims he will be "100%" fit for his match against Djokovic.
  • Both players have recent injury concerns but are determined to perform at their best.

Novak Djokovic, the 38-year-old Serbian tennis legend, advanced to the semi-finals of Wimbledon after a remarkable victory over Italy's Flavio Cobolli, winning 6-7(6) 6-2 7-5 6-4. This achievement marks his record 14th appearance in the semi-finals at the All England Club, surpassing Roger Federer.

Facing Djokovic next is world number one Jannik Sinner, who overcame an elbow injury to reach this stage. Sinner successfully defeated American Ben Shelton in straight sets with a score of 7-6(2) 6-4 6-4. The Italian, who has won their last four encounters, exudes confidence and stated he'll be "100%" fit for this upcoming clash against Djokovic, despite the injury concerns he faced previously in the tournament, according to BBC and BBC.

Djokovic also carries fitness worries into the match. He suffered a fall during his match with Cobolli, which raised concerns about his physical condition, although he assured fans that he would be ready for the semi-final. "It's going to take the best of me at the moment to beat Jannik," Djokovic remarked, recognizing the challenge that Sinner poses given his recent performances, according to SCMP.

As they prepare for this pivotal match, both players have maintained a focus on their recovery. Djokovic has canceled scheduled practice sessions, reflecting a cautious approach to his fitness regime as he looks to minimize injury risks. Meanwhile, Sinner participated in practice, showing no signs of discomfort as he interacted positively with his team, according to BBC and BBC.

This semi-final matchup promises to be an exciting battle between two of tennis's top competitors, with Djokovic aiming for a record 25th Grand Slam title, while Sinner vies for his first Wimbledon final. The stakes are high as both athletes bring their strengths and resilience to the iconic grass courts.
