Before making a Djokovic vs Sinner prediction, it’s worth examining how each player got to this point in the tournament. Djokovic, one of the leading Wimbledon picks to win the tournament, is coming off of a 4-6, 6-1, 6-4, 6-3 quarter-final win over Andrey Rublev. This match was the first time the seven-time Wimbledon champion lost the opening set at the All England Club, but he responded in dominant fashion.
Djokovic also has wins over Hubert Hurkacz, Stan Wawrinka, Jordan Thompson, and Pedro Cachin. He has lost just two sets in his five victories thus far.
Sinner, meanwhile, is the least popular bet on tennis option of the four semifinalists to win Wimbledon, but he has been just as dominant as Djokovic, losing only two sets thus far. He’s coming off of a 6-4, 3-6, 6-2, 6-2 victory over Roman Safiullin and previously beat Daniel Galan, Quentin Halys, Diego Schwartzman, and Juan Cerundolo.
Novak Djokovic vs. Jannik Sinner Analysis
While Djokovic has had the tougher path to the semi-finals in terms of opponents, it’s still surprising he has been on court almost two hours longer than Sinner. He has had to scrap and claw to win sets, playing 24 more matches than Sinner through the same amount of sets. Djokovic is 32-4 this season and hasn’t lost in his last 12 matches dating back to the quarter-final at the Italian Open.
Sinner, meanwhile, is 37-10 this season and 8-2 in his last 10 matches. He is also 8-2 on grass this season and 14-9 in his career on the surface. Djokovic is nearly unbeatable on grass with a career 89-9 record. He has won 26 consecutive games on grass.
Djokovic also holds a 2-0 career advantage over Sinner. He beat Sinner in a thrilling five-set match at last year’s tournament, overcoming a 2-0 set deficit, and also beat him in straight sets at the Monte-Carlo Rolex Masters.
