Defeat to Sinner, But No Farewell Yet
Novak Djokovic’s run at Wimbledon 2025 ended in disappointment with a semi-final loss to Jannik Sinner.
The 38-year-old, chasing a record-equalling eighth title, fell short but made one thing clear: he’ll be back at SW19 next year. “I’m not planning to finish my Wimbledon career today,” he told fans, reaffirming his love for the iconic grass court.
Age and Injury Starting to Show
Djokovic looked physically hindered during the match, especially after a slip in the quarter-final left him carrying an injury. “It wasn’t a pleasant feeling on the court,” he admitted.
While he avoided detailing the issue, it was clear he couldn’t perform at full capacity a growing concern as he nears 40.
Sinner Now Has His Number
Jannik Sinner has emerged as a true nemesis, defeating Djokovic for the fifth straight time.
That streak puts the Italian in elite company only Rafael Nadal has managed such a run against Novak before.
With Carlos Alcaraz also besting him in last year’s final, the new generation is firmly in charge.
French Open Sentimental, Wimbledon Stoic
Just a month earlier at Roland Garros, Djokovic suggested his semi-final loss might’ve been his final match on clay.
“If this was the farewell match of Roland Garros for me… it was a wonderful one,” he said.
Wimbledon, by contrast, drew a more determined response proof that this tournament still holds special weight.
Legacy on the Line in 2026
With 24 Grand Slam titles and seven Wimbledon crowns, Djokovic is already one of tennis’s greats.
But the elusive eighth Wimbledon win and matching Federer’s record remains a final milestone.
He’s not done chasing it just yet. One more run, one more shot at glory says The Mirror.
