US EditionJannik Sinner Beats Ben Shelton to Reach Wimbledon's Semifinals with a Sleeve on His Injured Elbow
LONDON, JUL 9 – Jannik Sinner overcame a right elbow injury sustained earlier at Wimbledon by relying on strong serving and forehands to reach the semifinals, defeating 10th seed Ben Shelton.
- On July 9, 2025, at Wimbledon, Jannik Sinner overcame Ben Shelton, who was seeded tenth, in straight sets—7-6 with a 7-2 tiebreak, 6-4, 6-4—to advance to his second semifinal at the tournament.
- Sinner entered the match while still recovering from a right elbow injury he sustained during his fourth-round contest with Dimitrov two days earlier and underwent an MRI examination on Tuesday.
- Despite wearing a white protective sleeve with visible tape over his injured elbow, Sinner used strong serving and his usual forehand to control the match and break Shelton in the tenth game.
- Sinner secured 27 out of 29 first-set service points and noted that his condition had gotten much better compared to the previous day, when he had limited practice time on the court.
- This win puts Sinner just two matches short of claiming his first Wimbledon crown and sets up a Friday semifinal on Centre Court against whoever prevails between Novak Djokovic and Flavio Cobolli.
