Ready for the shock of the year? Novak Djokovic, Serbia’s top tennis ace, has suffered his fifth straight defeat at the hands of the young and relentless Italian, Jannik Sinner! The score? A clean 0-3 in sets (3-6, 3-6, 4-6) in the Wimbledon semifinals! Yes, you read that right — Sinner has now beaten Djokovic five times in a row, an almost unbelievable streak. Overall, Sinner leads their head-to-head 6-4. It all started back in 2019 in Monte Carlo, where Novak dominated, but since then Sinner has flipped the script and now holds the upper hand.
Sinner first beat Djokovic in 2021 at the Turin tournament in Italy, and hasn’t lost to him since. Djokovic hasn’t managed to beat Sinner in 720 days! Is this the end of the Serbian ace’s dominance or just a rough patch? The Italian is now in the Wimbledon final, set to face Carlos Alcaraz, another young tennis prodigy.
This losing streak casts a shadow over Djokovic’s career and raises the question — is it time for a change? Is Sinner the new king of tennis? Or will Novak find a way back to the throne? One thing’s for sure — the tennis scene has never been more exciting!
