Top seed Jannik Sinner ensured Novak Djokovic will be absent from a Wimbledon men's singles final for the first time in eight years after handing the Serbian great a brutal Centre Court battering on Friday.

World No. 1 Jannik Sinner dismantled Novak Djokovic in straight sets, 6‑3, 6‑3, 6‑4, to claim his first Wimbledon final berth and, in doing so, halted Djokovic’s run of six consecutive appearances in this championship match.

As a pundit on 'BBC Radio 5 Live', former ATP ace Greg Rusedski commented on Novak's loss at the Championships and gave his honest verdict on the Serbian legend's future: “The new rivalry has arrived. We wanted to see Sinner and Alcaraz in the Major finals; they have separated themselves from the pack right now.”

Djokovic says 'the reality' of his age is beginning to hit him after his loss to Jannik Sinner in the Wimbledon semifinal.

Djokovic has suffered five consecutive losses to Sinner, a streak only matched by Rafael Nadal —who won five in a row against him from the Beijing Olympics in 2008 to the Madrid Open in 2009. Sinner has proven to be a tough opponent for Djokovic, while Alcaraz bested him in last year's final.
