THE ALL ENGLAND CLUB, LONDON — There are only two players who have been able to knock Ben Shelton out of Grand Slams this year: Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner. That’s good news and bad for Shelton, who exited Wimbledon in the quarterfinals Wednesday afternoon as Sinner sent him home, 7-6 (2), 6-4, 6-4.

When it comes to their head-to-head record, Sinner has an upper hand over Djokovic with 5-4. Notably, he has won their last four encounters, including a thrilling semi-final victory at the 2025 French Open. This semifinal marks Sinner’s chance to reach his first Wimbledon final and cement his status as the sport’s next big star.
