Will take the best of me to beat Sinner: Djokovic

The 38-year-old is bidding to win a record 25th Grand Slam title and a record-equalling eighth men’s Wimbledon crown. But Djokovic will have to overcome a huge hurdle to make history, with top seed Sinner lying in wait in the last four.

Djokovic will be facing Sinner for the 10th time, with the Italian holding a 5-4 edge after four successive wins. 

“It’s going to take the best of me at the moment to beat Jannik. Hopefully, I can deliver the level and be able to stay with him for potentially five sets,” said an honest Djokovic.

Sinner beat the Serbian in straight sets at the French Open semi-finals recently, but the former World No. 1 is keen to get one over his opponent.

“I lost in straight sets to Jannik in the semis of Roland Garros. He was just better when the moments were important. So, I get another opportunity. For me, this is what counts the most. Being in the last stages of Grand Slams and playing against the best player in the world right now. I couldn’t ask for a bigger 
challenge,” said Djokovic.
