Sinner powers into Wimbledon semi-finals to ease injury fears
Jannik Sinner overcame Ben Shelton in straight sets to reach the Wimbledon semi-finals for the second time on Wednesday, easing fears over an elbow injury he suffered in the previous round.
Sinner wore a protective sleeve on his right arm and could be seen grimacing at times in his 7-6 (7/2), 6-4, 6-4 quarter-final victory against 10th seed Shelton on Court One.
But the 23-year-old battled through the discomfort and will face seven-time Wimbledon champion Novak Djokovic or Italian 22nd seed Flavio Cobolli for a place in Sunday's final.
Sinner had sparked fears he may have to pull out of Wimbledon after injuring his right elbow in an awkward fall during his fourth-round tie against Grigor Dimitrov on Monday.
The Italian top seed was trailing by two sets and on the brink of a shock defeat when Dimitrov pulled a pectoral muscle while serving and had to retire from the match.
Sinner, a three-time Grand Slam champion, cancelled a scheduled practice session at the All England Club on Tuesday and had an MRI scan on his injury.
The top seed, who has never made the Wimbledon final, is the first Italian man to reach the last four at the All England Club multiple times, following his previous semi-final appearance in 2023.
Beaten by Carlos Alcaraz in an epic French Open final in June, when he blew a two-set lead and squandered three championship points, Sinner had been revitalised in his first three matches at Wimbledon.
He dropped just 17 games to equal a 53-year-old record for the fewest games conceded en route to the Wimbledon men's last 16.
But Sinner's injury had thrown into doubt his bid to reach a fourth successive Grand Slam final.
He could take heart from victories over Shelton in the Wimbledon fourth round last year and on his way to winning the Australian Open in January.
Shelton had surpassed dad and coach Bryan, who reached the Wimbledon last 16 31 years ago, but he was no match for Sinner, even if the Italian was not 100 percent fit.
Sinner ground his way through a gruelling first set lasting 52 minutes.
He looked more uncomfortable as the match wore on, with a concerned expression on his face after grabbing his elbow following a big groundstroke in the sixth game of the second set.
However, Shelton was also in the wars and the 22-year-old needed his left ankle re-taped late in the set.
Sinner broke in the 10th game to move into a two-set lead.
The third set was a tight affair, going with serve until the 10th game, when Shelton faltered.
Sinner needed three match points but celebrated when the American went long.
