Wimbledon 2025: Jannik Sinner says he will be ‘100%’ fit for Novak Djokovic semi-final

Seven-time champion Djokovic beat Italian Flavio Cobolli in four sets to secure his semi-final spot but also suffered an injury scare himself during the match.

Leading 5-4 in the fourth set and serving for the match, he slipped and fell awkwardly as he attempted to move for a shot.

It prompted concern from the crowd and Djokovic initially appeared in discomfort when he got up, but shook it off to win the next two points and secure victory.

“There is a concern but we’ll see in the next 24 to 48 hours. It was an awkward, nasty fall,” Djokovic told BBC Sport.

“I’m going to address it with my team and hope that severity is not too bad.”

Djokovic has now broken the record for most Wimbledon men’s singles semi-final appearances with 14, moving one clear of eight-time champion Roger Federer.

It is also a 52nd Grand Slam semi-final appearance for Djokovic, extending his all-time record in the men’s game.

But regardless of his impressive record, he knows he will need to be at his very best against Sinner.

“I am just trying to focus on my recovery right now and getting my body in shape for very physical battle,” he said of his preparations for the match.

“Hopefully I can deliver the level and be able to stay with him because it’s going to take the best of me at the moment to beat Jannik.

“That’s the only thing I’m thinking about right now – just getting myself physically and mentally in the right state so I can fight with him for as long as it’s necessary.”
