Jannik Sinner secured a straight-sets victory over Ben Shelton in the Wimbledon quarterfinals, winning 7-6(2), 6-4, 6-4. Despite concerns surrounding his elbow injury sustained earlier in the tournament, the world No. 1 delivered a commanding performance on No. 1 Court, showcasing his trademark precision and power.
Injury Concerns Fade
During the post-match interview, Sinner addressed the lingering questions about his elbow. He revealed that the condition had improved significantly since the previous day. “When you are in a match with a lot of tension, you try not to think about it,” he said. “It has improved a lot from yesterday to today. Yesterday, my day was very short on the practice court, 20 minutes with the coaches only.”
Atmosphere and Determination
Sinner credited the electric Wimbledon atmosphere for helping him push through any discomfort. “There is no better stage to play tennis, and I think I showed this today,” he said. The crowd, while largely supportive of Shelton, acknowledged Sinner’s resilience and skill throughout the match.
Looking Ahead
With this win, Sinner advances to the semifinals, where he will face either Novak Djokovic or Flavio Cobolli. The Italian star continues his pursuit of a first Wimbledon title, buoyed by his improving physical condition and unwavering focus.
