Jannik Sinner made history when he reached the Wimbledon final, defeating Novak Djokovic in straight sets on Friday.

They have faced each other nine times overall, with Djokovic claiming four victories and Sinner winning the other five. The young Italian has also won each of their last four meetings, a run which dates back to 2023. Federer is backing Djokovic to buck the trend at the next time of asking, though.

After taking what Novak Djokovic called "a nasty fall" Wednesday in the final moments of a Wimbledon quarterfinal victory over No. 22 seed Flavio Cobolli, the 38-year-old Serbian star canceled his afternoon practice session Thursday.
