Novak Djokovic

After dropping the first two sets to the young Italian player, Djokovic rallied to win three straight sets.

In the third game, with a chance to break Sinner’s serve and his spirit decisively, Djokovic spread shots back and forth across the baseline, making Sinner hit one more shot and then another until the young Italian cut a volley into the net. He even cracked a smile when a champagne cork popped just before his serve late in the fourth set, breaking the silence and forcing him to pause and reload. Djokovic grunts and grinds his way through the points he wants and needs. Djokovic left the court for a break — a snack and a pep talk in the bathroom mirror. On his best shots, Djokovic put a finger to his ear or flapped his hands to the sky asking for more noise from the crowd. A congratulatory roar rose from the crowd when Sinner managed to get on the scoreboard, but Djokovic still surged to a 3-0 lead.

You can fire everything at him with everything you have for as long as you can, and when the dust clears he’s still there, right where he was, dusting off his shoulder. While coming back from two sets down sounds and looks like a major turn around and turning a match upside down, for Djokovic it’s merely a minor adjustment of the dials. Djokovic was clean in a most smothering fashion in the match’s last three sets, with only three unforced errors in the third and fifth sets. That leads to a lot of shanks and sprays and short balls that Djokovic can pounce on. The look of lethargy shouldn’t have fooled us, and perhaps Sinner knew what was coming as even though he was playing incredibly well, he got nervy in the third set. For the seventh time in his career, Djokovic pulled off the feat yesterday at Wimbledon, hoodwinking future star Jannik Sinner into the impostor of hope before yanking it away in a 5-7 2-6 6-3 6-2 6-2 advancement to the semifinals.
