Wimbledon 2026 SF: [7] Novak Djokovic vs. [1] Jannik Sinner

[TheFifthSet]

Who ya got guvs

 

[Kralingen]

A rematch of last year’s Wimbledon SF, the early one on Friday. Who comes out on top?

 

[TennisFan3]

Djokovic in straights or 4 sets. Sinner is badly out of form.

 

[Drighiz]

Can't call it. Sinner hasn't exactly been stellar so far. Could certainly lose. I'd say 60/40 to Sinner.

 

[CoolCoolCool]

I honestly don’t give a sh*t about that match, not gonna bother watching it.

 

[tudwell]

Djokovic in five. He's coming for Sinner.

[temnik]

Sinner will be fresh. Won over Stuff in 3 straightforward sets.

Novak, on the other hand, will need the power of all pyramids on the planet to recover from a 5-hour 5-setter with FAA.

Sinner can thank FAA for another slam-dunk.

 

[JeMar]

Heart says Djokvoic in 4, head says Sinner in 3. 39-year-old bodies don't pull up the same the day after matches like these. I think if he'd been able to get out in 3 or 4, he'd have a good chance. Now, not so sure.

Sinner absolutely needs to beat the shìt out of the old man. He’s near 25, and is the world number 1.

 

[MichaelNadal]

Sinner will have to play a perfect match for hours. Can he? Yes…. Should he? Yes…. But he’s no Djokovic. Novak is winning, whatever it takes. The 2 days off helps.

What do you think?

 

[GRASScaraz]

Djoko in 5

He's already won Wimbledon

 

[L4S10s]

As usual, the longer it goes, the longer it favours the old man

 

[Third Serve]

I propose a duel between @TheFifthSet and @Kralingen to decide who keeps the match thread

 

[Carax]

Djoko in 4.

Djokovic to expose Sinner's false dawn.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Djokovic with this match coming! LOL

 

[djokovic the conqueror]

Djokovic in 5. He did it in Australia and he will do it again in London.

Slam #25 is Djokovic's for the taking. Idemo!

 

[Kralingen]

Oh crap didn’t even see it. @TheFifthSet I think created his thread before mine looking at the timestamp? I shall let our brilliant moderation team decide

 

[TheFifthSet]

A spirited round of Turkish oil wrestling to settle it.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

I’m happy Djokovic had an amazing run. The fact he got this far he can still beat the rest which is insane.

This is a bridge too far though. Sinner in 3!

 

[Tenez01]

Sinner in 3/4 is the most rational option and the one I've made peace with.

But I'll root for Nole in 4/5.

 

[4UTRMoutet]

Djokovic in 5. He did it in Australia and he will do it again in London.

Slam #25 is Djokovic's for the taking. Idemo!

You can't just keep throwing around the same prediction and getting it wrong, and when you get it right you act like an oracle, pal.

 

[Megafanoftennis100]

Sinner in 4.
The current Sinner is no 2025 Sinner, but he is still leagues better than a tired geriatric Djokovic.

 

[PlaysInAviatorShades]

Sinner in 4 but it would be cool to see Djok pull it off

Mainly because Djok vs fritz, cobolli final is the most interesting

And watching Sinner spank zverev the 60th time is the least interesting

 

[CoolCoolCool]

I propose a duel between @TheFifthSet and @Kralingen to decide who keeps the match thread

My vote goes to Kralingen.

 

[Terenigma]

Sinner now. I was torn before but after watching Djokovic today and how long it took him to get past Felix, I just can't see him doing it against Sinner again.

Sinner in 3/4.

 

[vwanderaa]

Logic says Sinner.

This weird feeling says it’s going to be Djokovic.

I don’t believe in weird feelings, so Sinner in 3.
But what if…

 

[Racquet_smash]

Djokovic after a tiring match and rested Sinner. No way Australia happens again

 

[Megafanoftennis100]

Sinner's serve is not as good as FAA's.
But his ground game is much more solid.
Sinner should take this in 4

 

[djokovic the conqueror]

I know Sinner is the favorite. I simply believe Djokovic can win.

Impeccable analysis

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Sinner 4.

 

[Technology Ruined Tennis]

Is Tiny Carl back yet?

 

[Lob And Let Die]

Sinner in 4.

I think the Sinner we saw in Australia was absolutely the same as last year’s vintage, but he hasn’t been close to his best at Wimbledon so far.

That being said, he doesn’t need to be at that level to win this comfortably. Djokovic benefitted from walkovers/short matches in Melbourne, and by the final it caught up to him. After 5 hours with FAA you’re just not going to have recovered in time at 39 years old, even with the extra day’s rest.

Sinner in 4 sets. More likely to win in straights than Djokovic to win at all, imo

 

[4UTRMoutet]

Will Fritz save tennis?

 

[Megafanoftennis100]

Djokovic in straights or 4 sets. Sinner is badly out of form.

LMAO. Did you even watch his match earlier today against Struff? He destroyed the German!
He looked just fine!
Besides, Djokovic is the one who is out of form to a far worse degree.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Sinner will have to play a perfect match for hours. Can he? Yes…. Should he? Yes…. But he’s no Djokovic. Novak is winning, whatever it takes. The 2 days off helps.

He doesn’t need to play a long match. He in all likelihood blasts Novak off the court in straight sets!

 

[Poisoned Slice]

I'm thinking Sinner in a 4.

 

[Airspun]

Let’s be real it will be Djokovic in 3 as sinner is a mental midget

 

[Megafanoftennis100]

AO 2024, RG 2025, WB 2025 all say hi

 

[Yugram]

Djokovic wins in 5,5 hours, 7-6 5-7 7-5 6-7 7-6 (12-10). Then Zverev crushes the remainings in the final in under 2 hours.

But on a more serious note, Sinner in 3 sets under 2 hours.

Imagine Zverev actually winning a second slam in a row.

 

[TheFifthSet]

Genuinely giggled

 

[CoolCoolCool]

Another borefest thanks to the clear path the winning machine has to the title, as if Raz missing wasn’t enough. I’d be surprised if this wasn’t a straight set victory.

I think sinner wins the SF and F in straight sets!

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

I’d love to see it!

 

[StrongRule]

I’d love to see it!

Unfortunately, not gonna happen.

 

[4UTRMoutet]

Real question is why does Zverev have a slam in the same year where he is currently 0-6 against top 10?
