World No. 1 Jannik Sinner defeated seven-time champion Novak Djokovic 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 in the Wimbledon men's singles semifinal on Friday to book his place in a second consecutive final at the All England Club.
The defending champion dominated the contest with a clinical serving display, firing 16 aces without committing a single double fault.
Sinner won an impressive 88% of points on his first serve, leaving Djokovic with few opportunities to put pressure on the Italian throughout the match.
Although Sinner converted only three of his 13 break-point opportunities, those breaks proved enough to claim all three sets by an identical 6-4 scoreline. Djokovic, seeded seventh, was unable to convert his only break-point chance of the match.
The Italian also outscored Djokovic 103-81 and won 62 per cent of points on his second serve, compared to the Serbian's 41 per cent.
The victory keeps Sinner on course for his maiden Wimbledon title.
He will face Alexander Zverev in the final after the German defeated British wildcard Arthur Fery 7-6(0), 6-2, 6-4 to reach his first Wimbledon final.
