Jannik Sinner has knocked out Ben Shelton to qualify for the Wimbledon semifinals.

According to BBC, world No. 1 Sinner on Wednesday, July 9, claimed a 7-6 (7-2) 6-4 6-4 victory over Shelton to qualify for the third Grand Slam semi-final of the 2025 season.

Despite the elbow injury from the fourth-round match against Grigor Dimitrov, the three-time Grand Slam champion with his dominant display ended the American No. 10's Wimbledon Championships bid.

After winning the match, the Italian tennis professional expressed, “I'm very happy with this performance. When you are in a match with a lot of tension, you try not to think about (any pain). It has improved a lot from yesterday to today. It is no excuse. There is no better stage to play tennis, and I showed this today."

“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 got to know each other a little bit better, and I’m looking forward to these kinds of battles,” he added.

Sinner will now face the winner of Wednesday’s second quarterfinal, either 24-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic or Flavio Cobolli, in the semifinals on Friday.

Meanwhile, in the second semifinals of the Wimbledon Championships, Carlos Alcaraz will face Taylor Fritz.
