All England Club: World No.1 Jannik Sinner overcame a pre-match injury scare to cruise past Ben Shelton in the men's singles quarterfinals and stormed into the semifinals of Wimbledon 2025 at the All England Club here on Wednesday. The Italian star produced another rock-solid display to defeat Shelton 7-6(2), 6-4, 6-4 and reach the last four at the grass major for the second time.
Sinner, who sustained an elbow injury and was down two sets before escaping into the quarterfinals when Grigor Dimitrov retired from the pair’s fourth-round clash, quickly eased any fears of serious damage to his arm by nullifying Shelton’s power across two hours and 19 minutes on No. 1 Court.
“I’m very, very happy about today’s performance,” said Sinner in his on-court interview. “Playing against him is so difficult. You have chances, and then he serves very well, as we saw in the last game. Overall, we play each other more and more, we get to know each other a little bit better, and I’m looking forward to these kinds of battles.”
