Summary
Jannik Sinner beat Novak Djokovic 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 in the Wimbledon semifinals, knocking out the 39-year-old for a second straight year at this stage.
Sinner dominated the match statistically, won 88% of first-serve points and hit 16 aces, while Djokovic failed to break serve for only the third time in a completed major match.
Djokovic called it a "good old blowout," saying he was a level or two below Sinner and half a step late on nearly every shot.
Centre Court then turned to Djokovic's future: he waved emotionally to the crowd and later said he hoped to return "at least one more time" but offered no guarantee.
The loss deepens questions over his 25th-major chase after a third-round French Open exit, even though he still sees himself as capable of contending at the US Open.
