Djokovic staved off the set loss on his serve, cutting the deficit to 5-4. To avoid a 2-0 deficit, he needed to break Sinner's serve for the first time in the match. However, Sinner won the game without yielding a point, taking a commanding 2-0 lead.

In the third set, Sinner wasted no time, breaking Djokovic in the first game after four break points. The two players each held serve after that, with Sinner winning the set 6-4. Djokovic did not break Sinner once during the match.

The crowd chanted "Novak! Novak!" between points to try to spur on the 24-time Grand Slam winner, but to no avail.

Sinner has defeated Djokovic six of the last seven times the two have played, with the Serbian’s only win over the Italian coming in the semifinals of the 2026 Australian Open.

Last year, Sinner defeated Carlos Alcaraz in four sets to win the Wimbledon title. The final on Sunday will be Sinner’s seventh career Grand Slam final.

The Italian star will take on Alexander Zverev on Sunday at 11 a.m. ET. Zverev is looking to win his second consecutive major title after winning the French Open in June.
