Two power hitters competing in a slugfest early transitioned into a calculated display of consistency from World No. 1 Jannik Sinner during Wednesday's straight sets win over Ben Shelton in the quarterfinals at Wimbledon.
The top-ranked player, wearing a sleeve on his right elbow, reaches the semifinals with a 7-6 (2), 6-4, 6-4 victory over the 10th-seeded American.
World no1 Jannik Sinner was able to practice ahead of today's Wimbledon quarter-final against Ben Shelton. Sinner on Monday hurt his elbow after slipping on the baseline during his fourth-round match with Grigor Dimitrov, which he was trailing by two sets before the Bulgarian was forced to retire with an apparent pectoral injury.
