Novak Djokovic closed in on a record-tying eighth title at Wimbledon and fifth in a row by repeatedly serving his way out of potential trouble to beat Jannik Sinner 6-3, 6-4, 7-6 (4) in the semifinals on Friday.
WIMBLEDON, England -- This was the moment. If Novak Djokovic was going to be stopped in the Wimbledon semifinals, if his much younger and harder-hitting opponent, Jannik Sinner, was going to turn things around Friday, the monumental comeback required would need to start immediately.After taking the first two sets, Djokovic trailed 5-4 in the third, and a flubbed forehand made the game score 15-40 as he served. Two chances for Sinner to finally break. Two chances for him to actually take a set.

It's also his 35th final at all Grand Slam tournaments, more than any man or woman in tennis history.
In truth, talented as Sinner is, he didn't really generate any more frustration for Djokovic than chair umpire Richard Haigh did. Djokovic got major title No. 22 at the Australian Open in January, and No. 23 at the French Open in June -- his Wimbledon shoes have a small"23" stamped on the side -- after getting past Alcaraz in the semifinals at Roland Garros.
