Wimbledon: "Carlos (Alcaraz) will be the favorite in the final," says Jannik Sinner

The world number one was merciless with Novak Djokovic , fifteen years his senior, who was weakened and swept away this Friday in the semi-final. The Italian did not boast: "With Novak, it is very difficult to find the points on which he may be in difficulty. The fact of improving physically has helped me a lot, in the sense that we do not rush to get out of a longer rally. But it remains very difficult to play against him. You feel the nervousness before entering the court."

It's always a huge honor. He's a player I admire. We push each other.

He assures that the defeat against Alcaraz at Roland Garros in the final is now almost a distant memory: "I think if that were the case, I wouldn't be in a position to play a final again. It's a difficult question to answer because I think it's something you feel before the match and also during the match. It will remain a different match. He is the favorite. I am very happy to share the court with Carlos again. It's always a huge honor. He is a player I admire. We push each other. I love watching him play. It will be difficult, I know. But I'm looking forward to it. He has won here twice in a row. He is in the final again. It is very difficult to beat him on grass, but I like these challenges. In any case, I hope it will be a good match, like the last one." I don't think it will be better, because I don't know if it's possible."

World number 1 Grigor Dimitrov, who suffered an elbow injury after a fall against him, believes he will be 100% fit. "As I said after playing Ben, there are no excuses. I think we're handling this little problem very well at the moment. I was much more concerned about Ben's match in the quarterfinals. Today I felt very good from the warm-up. This morning I felt good. No worries."
