Jannik Sinner crushed Novak Djokovic in the Wimbledon semi-finals to set up the latest instalment of his gripping rivalry with defending champion Carlos Alcaraz in Sunday`s final. The world number one is through to his fourth successive Grand Slam title match -- and his first at the All England Club -- after a 6-3, 6-3, 6-4 demolition on Centre Court on Friday. The 23-year-old will be desperate to avenge his painful French Open defeat against world number two Alcaraz after squandering three championship points in last month`s epic Roland Garros final. 

Sinner and Alcaraz are the undisputed new kings of men`s tennis, claiming the past six majors between them. Defeat on a baking Centre Court means seven-time champion Djokovic must wait for another shot at a record 25th Grand Slam title after failing in his latest bid to equal Roger Federer`s record of eight men`s Wimbledon crowns. It is the first time he has failed to reach the Wimbledon final since 2017. Italy`s Sinner was still wearing a white protective sleeve after injuring his elbow in a nasty fall against Grigor Dimitrov in the fourth-round.
