Novak Djokovic, the ageless Serbian sorcerer of tennis, has once again rewritten history. By defeating Italy’s Flavio Cobolli in four grueling sets (6-7, 6-2, 7-5, 6-4), Djokovic has now reached a record 14th Wimbledon men’s singles semi-final, surpassing the great Roger Federer.
At 38, most players are sipping coffee on commentary desks. Djokovic? He’s two wins away from capturing a record-extending 25th Grand Slam title, which would break his tie with Margaret Court for the most majors in tennis history.
👑 A Royal Performance – And a Royal Audience
Before striking a single ball, Djokovic received encouragement from Queen Camilla. After all, royalty recognizes royalty. With Hugh Grant watching on and the sun baking Centre Court, Djokovic overcame a slow start and a spirited Cobolli.
Cobolli, flashing an orange racquet and serious guts, snatched the first set in a tiebreak. But you don’t beat Novak with flair alone—he punished every missed opportunity, slicing through the remaining sets with trademark grit, variety, and surgical groundstrokes.
🔥 Djokovic vs. Sinner: The Rivalry Renewed
Up next? Jannik Sinner, the current World No. 1 and a man who’s beaten Djokovic in their last four meetings—including a straight-sets win at Roland Garros just weeks ago.
But grass is Djokovic’s domain. He’s won 7 Wimbledon titles and owns the slickest footwork and the deepest tennis bag of tricks this side of Hogwarts.
And here’s the kicker: Djokovic has never lost to Sinner at Wimbledon, including that iconic comeback from two sets down in 2022.
🧠 How Djokovic Can Outsmart the World No.1
Let’s be clear: engaging Sinner in long baseline exchanges is like bringing a spoon to a swordfight. Instead, Djokovic must:
- Mix things up – Short slices, sneaky drop shots, chip-and-charge.
- Shorten points – No marathon rallies; quick-strike tennis is key.
- Serve smart – His first serve hasn’t been perfect lately, but it still packs more tactical punch than Sinner’s.
Grass rewards variety, and Djokovic is the undisputed grandmaster of variety.
