After the women put on quite the show in their semifinal matches on Thursday, the men took to Centre Court at Wimbledon on Friday to determine who would play for the title this weekend.
Neither semifinal produced the kind of fireworks fans hoped for, as the top seeds in both matches dominated in straight set victories. First, No. 2 seed and reigning French Open champion Alexander Zverev ended Arthur Fery’s magical run as a wild card entry in straight sets (7-6, 6-2, 6-4). Zverev continues his stellar play at the grand slams this year and his quality simply overwhelmed the hometown hero, who bowed out after an incredible two weeks that made him an instant legend in British tennis lore.
Then in primetime in London, No. 1 seed Jannik Sinner dominated No. 7 seed Novak Djokovic for the second straight year in the semifinals, cruising in straight sets (6-4, 6-4, 6-4). Sinner brought his A-game onto Centre Court on Friday evening and the seven-time Wimbledon champion simply cannot match that at this point in his career. Sinner smashed in 16 aces in a dominant serving performance, with 40 winners to just 16 unforced errors in a clinical, ruthless display of tennis to punch his ticket to the final on Sunday where he’ll defend his title against Zverev.
Before Sinner and Zverev square off on Sunday, the women’s final on Saturday will pit No. 10 seed Karolina Muchova against No. 9 seed Linda Noskova in an all-Czech battle where one of them will capture their first ever grand slam title. Muchova has already taken out a pair of stars in Naomi Osaka and Coco Gauff in the quarters and semis to reach the finals, while Noskova’s path saw her go through Madison Keys, Elise Mertens and Marta Kostyuk to make her first grand slam final.
