Jannik Sinner vs Novak Djokovic LIVE: Wimbledon 2026 semi-final latest result and reaction

Sinner has looked in excellent form since a surprise wobble in the opening round as he was taken all the way in a five-set comeback win by Miomir Kecmanovic, defeating Jan-Lennard Struff in the quarter-finals and not dropping a further set in victories over Nuno Borges, Jenson Brooksby and Shintaro Mochizuki. He may well be fresher than Djokovic, who beat third seed Felix Auger-Aliassime in a draining epic on Tuesday having seen off Roman Safiullin, Arthur Rinderknech, Stefanos Tsitsipas and Wu Yibing.

I watched Arthur Fery’s Wimbledon semi-final in the second best place | UK | News

Published by Sam Flores

On Henman Hill, every stroke and serve from Arthur Fery was cheered on by an energetic crowd. There was hardly a blade of grass in sight on the famous mount which some have now dubbed Arthur’s Seat in tribute to Britain’s new tennis hero. Aside from being in Centre Court to watch Fery take on second seed Alexander Zverev in the semi-final, this was the best place in the world to tune in. Thousands were packed in under the hot sun to watch the action unfold on the big screen outside of Court One. And after much searching, I was lucky enough to find myself a small (very small) spot to join the crowds cheering on Fery. Before the match started, there was a noticeable sense of tension in the air. Wildcard Fery was never supposed to get this far, but the man who grew up just down the road had so far defied all expectations. The 23-year-old’s first point was met with an almighty roar. The energy was contagious and it was hard not …

(You really do learn something new every day…) Even once you wrap your head around that, though, questions remain – like why on Earth the fruit is on top of the men’s Wimbledon singles trophy. After all, it’s not like the fruit has royal associations (unlike the three lions on England’s football kit). I can’t think of any obvious tennis links, either. Yet the mini gold-hued decoration has sat there for over a hundred years, perched on top of the prize like the exotic bobble on a very glitzy hat. So… what’s going on? Why is there a pineapple on top of the men’s Wimbledon trophy?  It seems to be there as a status symbol.  In 1493, long before the tennis tournament began, Christopher Columbus brought pineapples back to Spain. Europe, including what is now the UK, quickly became besotted with the fruit. But a predictable problem arose: we couldn’t cultivate …
