Sinner Defeats Djokovic as Dimitrov Misses US Open

Jannik Sinner defeated Novak Djokovic in straight sets in the Wimbledon 2025 semi-finals, a result seen as emblematic of a generational shift in men's tennis. Djokovic acknowledged that age and physical issues are affecting his play but stated he has no immediate plans to retire. Earlier, Grigor Dimitrov was forced to retire from his fourth-round match against Sinner while leading by two sets due to a partial pectoral tear, marking his fifth consecutive Grand Slam retirement. Dimitrov expressed gratitude for support and vowed to return after recovery, but confirmed he will miss several upcoming tournaments, including the US Open. Sinner praised Dimitrov as an 'incredible player' and wished him a swift recovery. The developments highlight both the physical demands on elite players and a transitional period in the sport.
