Djokovic and Sinner's similarities make their matches especially compelling. For the coach who taught them both, it is no surprise.

According to Women’s Wear Daily, Federer was asked about who he thought would win the Wimbledon men’s singles title and said that Alcaraz was ‘slightly favoured’ over Sinner and Djokovic. Meanwhile, in the women’s singles, Federer believes either Aryna Sabalenka – the world No.1 – or defending champion Barbora Krejčíková will come out on top.

Novak Djokovic began expressing a heartfelt thought about returning to the semifinals at the All England Club — “It means the world to me,” he was saying, “that I’m still able, at 38, to play (in the) final stages of Wimbledon” — when the Centre Court crowd interrupted with yelling and applause.
