Jannik against Nole, as everyone predicted on the day of the main draw for the Wimbledon tournament: we have reached the semi-final clash between the world number one (who is certain to remain so next week at the end of the Slam) and the Serbian champion. So let’s find out the predictions and odds for the Sinner-Djokovic match scheduled for Friday, July 11, at 5:00 p.m.
SINNER-DJOKOVIC PREDICTION AND ODDS— After the big scare and elbow injury he suffered against Dimitrov, Jannik Sinner is back in top form in his match against Ben Shelton, the American who was feared despite the clear evidence of previous encounters. It was a clear victory, with a scare when Jannik started touching his elbow after a shot from the back of the court that caused a few too many vibrations. The score left no doubt: 7-6, 6-4, 6-4 for the South Tyrolean, who won his sixth consecutive match against the American without dropping a single set.
Thanks to this success, Jannik has reached his seventh Slam semifinal, his fourth in a row and his second at Wimbledon, where he lost to Djokovic in three sets in 2023. The Italian also fell to the Serb the previous year, but in the quarterfinals. In head-to-head matches, Sinner leads 5-4 thanks to his last four consecutive victories. The bookies on the main betting sites, as indicated by the odds, seem to have no doubts about who will start the match as favorite to reach the final: Sinner is at 1.45 on Gazzabet, 1.43 on Better Lottomatica, and 1.42 on Sisal. Djokovic, on the other hand, is at 2.75 on Sisal and 2.70 on Better Lottomatica and Gazzabet. THE LAST CHALLENGE—The last challenge between the two great rivals took place in Paris, in the second Grand Slam of the season, when Sinner beat Nole 6-4, 7-5, 7-6. As we mentioned, this was his fourth consecutive victory after the Davis Cup (2023), Melbourne, and Shanghai (both in 2024). Now it’s back to the grass of Wimbledon to determine who will be one of the two finalists in the tournament (the other will be determined by the semifinal between Fritz and Alcaraz). Sinner will be looking for his first win against the Serb on the London grass, where Nole has won the tournament seven times and is chasing Federer’s record of eight wins. Thanks to his victory over our Cobolli, Djokovic has reached his 14th Wimbledon semifinal. The possibility of exceeding the 38.5 game limit (Over) should be taken into account in the final game count: this option is available at odds of 1.72 on Gazzabet and Sisal and 1.68 on Better Lottomatica.
