Djokovic vs Sinner – Wimbledon 2023 semi-final preview

Jannik Sinner will try to stop Novak Djokovic reaching yet another Wimbledon final when the pair meet on Centre Court today.

21-year-old Sinner booked his place in his first Grand Slam semi-final by beating Russia's Roman Safiullin in four sets. After winning the first set 6-4, the Italian seemed to be haunted by losses in his four previous major quarter-finals and lost five games in a row to allow his big-hitting opponent to draw level. There will be no room for such generosities when facing Djokovic.

But eighth-seed Sinner regained his focus against Safiullin and won back-to-back sets 6-2 to become the youngest Wimbledon semi-finalist since 2007 – a record that lasted just 24 hours, when Carlos Alcaraz beat Holger Rune on Wednesday.

Novak Djokovic will compete in a record-equalling 46th major semi-final after defeating Safiullin's compatriot Andrey Rublev on Tuesday. The Serb lost the opening set in what was a highly competitive match, but he soon made his class and experience show, winning the next three in a row. The reigning champ has now not lost on the Centre Court grass in just over 10 years, 46 matches ago, when Andy Murray beat him in the 2013 final. The number-two seed won't be in any hurry to see that unbeaten record come to an end here.

Today's game will be a rematch of last year's quarter-final, when Djokovic fought back from two sets down to win, so expect Sinner to be out for revenge. Read on and we'll show you how to watch Djokovic vs Sinner in this Wimbledon 2023 semi-final live stream free online.
