Sinner Advances as Dimitrov Retires at Wimbledon

Jannik Sinner, the world No. 1, advanced to the Wimbledon quarter-finals after Grigor Dimitrov retired from their fourth-round match due to a pectoral injury, despite leading 6-3, 7-5, 2-2. Dimitrov had been on course for a major upset before collapsing in pain and leaving the court visibly emotional. This marks Dimitrov's fifth consecutive Grand Slam retirement due to injury, underscoring his persistent physical struggles. Sinner, who was nursing a right elbow issue, expressed sympathy for Dimitrov and stated he did not consider this a true win. The Centre Court crowd responded with sympathy and applause, highlighting the unpredictability of sports. Sinner is set to face Ben Shelton in the quarter-finals, but questions remain about his own fitness.
