Jannik Sinner beat unseeded Russian Roman Safiullin at Wimbledon on Tuesday to reach his first Grand Slam semi-final
Jannik Sinner beat unseeded Russian Roman Safiullin at Wimbledon on Tuesday to reach his first Grand Slam semi-final. The Italian eighth seed recovered from a mid-match wobble to win 6-4, 3-6, 6-2, 6-2 and will face either Novak Djokovic or Andrey Rublev for a place in Sunday's final. "It was obviously tough," said the 21-year-old, who squandered a two-sets-to-love lead against Djokovic in last year's quarter-final.
"I was a break up in the second. I got down mentally a little bit so this is a part we are working on a lot and obviously I'm very happy how I reacted in the next couple of sets."
Sinner said he would take to the court in his semi-final with a "good mentality".
"I know Novak hasn't lost on Centre Court in 10 years so it will be a tough one but maybe it's my day and in another way Andrey is also playing (to reach) the semi-finals for the first time. I'm trying to rest and enjoy the most important match until now."
