Djokovic went up 4-1 in the first set but let his lead slip with the 20-year-old Italian rallying to win the first set.
"I feel like Sinner, coming into the match didn't have much to lose, but he had a lot to lose when he was two sets to love up," he said. Among men, only Roger Federer has made more semi-final appearances at Wimbledon with 13 and won more championships than the seven Djokovic could reach by lifting the trophy Sunday for what would be a fourth year in a row.Djokovic was responsible for just one of Wednesday's comebacks: In all four singles quarterfinals on a sunny day, the player who dropped the first set ended up victorious.
“I always believed that I have something inside,” said Maria, who only once before reached as far as the third round. “That I can do this.” With his wide wingspan, and a Djokovic-style ability to slide into strokes, the 6-foot-2 Sinner gets to balls that appear out of reach and is able to reply with considerable power. That allows him to lengthen exchanges and make even a consummate baseliner like Djokovic put in extra work to earn a point.
