For three straight years Novak Djokovic, the Serbian star who owns the most Grand Slam titles in tennis history, has been denied a spot in Wimbledon's final.

Djokovic looked a step slow in Friday’s 6-3, 6-3, 6-4 defeat to Sinner after a painful fall in his quarterfinal win over Flavio Cobolli.

Novak Djokovic’s straight-set loss to top-ranked Jannik Sinner in the Wimbledon 2025 semifinals has reignited the retirement conversation surrounding the 38-year-old Serb legend. While his performance was admirable - fighting hard despite visible signs of physical wear - it also marked the third consecutive time in 2025 he failed to reach a Grand Slam final after faltering in semis.
