Summary
6-4 6-4 6-4 — defending champion Jannik Sinner overwhelmed Novak Djokovic in 2 hours 20 minutes to book a Wimbledon final against Alexander Zverev.
16 aces and 40 winners powered the world number one, who did not face a break point until the third set and erased Djokovic's lone chance with an ace.
99th Grand Slam match win sends Sinner into his seventh major final and makes him the first Italian man to reach multiple Wimbledon singles finals.
Djokovic, 39, fell short of a standalone 25th Grand Slam title and an eighth Wimbledon crown, while Sinner moved one win from becoming the 10th man in the Open era to retain the title.
