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 ALL ENGLAND CLUB, LONDON — There are only two players who have been able to knock Ben Shelton out of Grand Slams this year: Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner. That’s good news and bad for Shelton, who exited Wimbledon in the quarterfinals Wednesday afternoon as Sinner sent him home, 7-6 (2), 6-4, 6-4.

Jannik Sinner sure didn't play like someone dealing with an injured right elbow Wednesday, using terrific serving and his usual booming forehand to dismiss 10th-seeded Ben Shelton 7-6 (2), 6-4, 6-4 and earn a second appearance in the Wimbledon semifinals.

LONDON, July 9 (Reuters) - World number one Jannik Sinner shrugged off any doubts about his injured elbow to reach the Wimbledon semi-finals for the second time with a clinical defeat of powerful American 10th seed Ben Shelton on Wednesday.

Italian Jannik Sinner advanced to the semifinals at Wimbledon 2025 after defeating American Ben Shelton. The grueling match lasted nearly 4 hours after starting at 9:30 A.M. Eastern Time on July 9, 2025.

The 2025 Wimbledon marks Sinner's fourth consecutive year at the tournament. He's currently the No. 1 men's singles player worldwide. He defeated Grigor Dimitrov on Monday, after Dimitrov was injured and retired from the match. Sinner also faced an elbow injury, so Wednesday's match will be the first time he's played since his MRI.
