| by Kadir Macar

It didn't look good for Novak Djokovic in his semifinal match against Jannik Sinner at the 2022 Wimbledon.

In the fourth round, Jannik Sinner stunned Carlos Alcaraz and the young Italian wanted to continue in his charge also against the first-seeded Novak Djokovic, who is the biggest favourite to win the 2022 Wimbledon.

The Serbian had a great start to the match when he led 4-1 and 40-30 and it seemed that he will steamroll past his opponent. Yet, Sinner managed to get the break back and get one more to win the first set 7-5.

The youngster improved his performance in the second set and to surprise for everyone who was watching the match on the Centre Court, he won the set 6-2.

But it's been almost 5 years since Djokovic lost a match in the All England Club and he used all of his experience to come back. In the third set, he didn't allow his opponent to have a single breakpoint and won the set 6-3.

He continued in a similar style also in the fourth set and won it 6-2 to level the score of the match. 20-time Grand Slam champion continued in his one-man show also in the fifth set to eventually win the match 5-7, 2-6, 6-3, 6-2, 6-2.
