Novak Djokovic, at 39, continues his pursuit of more Grand Slam titles despite appearing fatigued in recent Wimbledon matches. He survived a grueling five-set quarter-final against Felix Auger-Aliassime, a match that became the longest in Wimbledon history. Djokovic also faced challenges in earlier rounds against Arthur Rinderknech and Roman Safiullin, showcasing a remarkable ability to rally from difficult positions.

His resilience, however, has not erased questions about his physical condition. The Serbian has undergone treatment for a calf issue and has been seen struggling with exhaustion. Despite these concerns, Djokovic has consistently found ways to advance, hinting that he may continue competing as long as he reaches the latter stages of major tournaments.

On the other side of the net stands top seed Jannik Sinner. If Sinner performs at his peak, he possesses the dynamism and power to challenge Djokovic. However, Sinner himself has faced physical challenges this season, notably experiencing cramps and dizziness during his French Open exit. His ability to sustain peak physical condition throughout a long match remains a significant question mark heading into this semi-final.
