Wimbledon: “I missed out a bit on the important points”, admits Sinner

Last year Jannik Sinner had shaken the invincible Djokovic a little, pushing him to the 5th set in the quarter-finals, after leading two sets to zero. This year, he has never been able to shake the master of the place. “The score aside, I felt I was closer this year than last year,” he said. I also had the impression that the level was better. I think it’s something positive from my point of view. I had opportunities at the start of the match, break points in the 2nd set and set points in the 3rd. I felt like I was closer, even though we had played five sets last year. In moments of great pressure, he played very well, did not miss. Expected as a future rival of choice for the phenomenon Carlos Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner believes that he has crossed a threshold at Church Road. “I feel like I was ready. I entered the court with the right mentality, I had the necessary conviction to win. I’m not afraid to play these kinds of matches. A first semi-final is never easy. I feel like my level was good. But I missed out a bit on the important points.
