Djokovic the favourite but could Sinner spring a surprise
An ever continuing theme during this year's Wimbledon and for the last ten years in fact since Andy Murray beat him last at the tournament has been Novak Djokovic's dominance.
Many have seen his title win as a foregone conclusion and what comes with it is the eighth and record equalling Wimbledon crown as well as a record extending Grand Slam.
He would also go one away from the Calendar Grand Slam, an accolade he has long chased but never achieved.
He's had his battles at times with Andrey Rublev and Hubert Hurkacz giving the sternest test but he has won through fairly comfortably.

As has his next opponent but in truth how he is playing hasn't really been tested due to the opposition. Due to a favourable draw, he has defeated all players ranked outside of the top 70 so hasn't had a test yet.
He could beat Djokovic with many doubting him or ease to a defeat given the little really known about his form. But it is often as the saying goes, you can only beat what's in front of you.
He hasn't beaten Djokovic though with the Serbian holding a 2-0 advantage head to head. This includes last year's Wimbledon where he went two sets up and lost to Djokovic as well as an easy defeat at Monte Carlo last year.
He will look to embody the spirit of 2022 but get over the line this time.

Alcaraz-Medvedev awaits winner in second semi-final
The second semi-final also sees the two main rivals for Novak Djokovic right now and that's not counting out Jannik Sinner.
Those being Carlos Alcaraz and Daniil Medvedev with the former US Open champions set to do battle.
Both getting to this position of the tournament despite both having doubts about grass prior to the tournament.
Alcaraz dispelled that slightly by winning Queen's and has been close to flawless since then, while Medvedev has bounced back after poor form at the end of the clay court season.
Medvedev has done all his work mainly on Court One and will be gutted that he can't continue that. He last defeated Christopher Eubanks and now has Alcaraz in his sights who has played mostly on Centre Court with his work on full display.
It is the third head to head match with Medvedev beating Alcaraz last time back in 2021 at the infancy of Alcaraz' rise. While Alcaraz turned the tables in March at Indian Wells.
Both have changed on grass since then so very much a coin toss of a second game.

- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.
mandoist09-11-2026 - Ironically, Martina became a U.S. Citizen about the same time as the Orange Convicted Felon & Abuser was just beginning on his road to losing all Daddy's Millions!!
mandoist09-11-2026 - "Another fresh start is in the cards." Thanks for the Humor!! I'm guessing this is the minimum one can do to keep all your sponsors hanging-on in perpetuity?
mandoist09-11-2026 - Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.
mandoist08-11-2026 - Can't help but suspect Vukov is back to his old self again. Thank you, WTA. Perhaps you can give them a "Battling Couple of the Year Award 2026" ??
mandoist08-11-2026 - Wtf? Why is there no reason? And what about the men's?Bel08-11-2026
- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.
mandoist06-11-2026 - Enough of her bullshit. Go marry someone.
mandoist06-11-2026 - Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
