Reflecting on his semi-final match against Sinner, Djokovic acknowledged the young Italian’s talent and highlighted the close and tense nature of their encounter. Despite the age difference of 14 years, Djokovic disregarded age as a hindrance and showcased his experience and mental fortitude to come out on top. He commended Sinner as one of the leaders of the next generation and one of the world’s best players.
The clash between youth and experience was evident throughout the match, as Sinner, playing in his first Grand Slam semi-final, faced off against Djokovic, who was contesting his 46th major semi-final, equalling Roger Federer’s all-time men’s record.
