LONDON, July 11 (Xinhua) -- Top seed Jannik Sinner will take on defending champion Carlos Alcaraz in the Wimbledon final after the Italian ruthlessly dismantled Novak Djokovic 6-3, 6-3, 6-4 on Friday.
The victory sent Sinner into a maiden Wimbledon final and set up a re-match of last month's French Open final, where the world No. 1 squandered three championship points before losing to Alcaraz.
"It's amazing," Sinner said in his on-court interview. "I can't believe it. It's a tournament I always watched when I was young, and I would never have imagined I could play in the final."
When asked what he took to beat Djokovic, he said: "I served very well and was moving much better today. We all saw, especially in the third set, he was a bit injured."
Sinner broke Djokovic five times while the Serb broke only once in the third set, where Sinner remarkably won five games in a row to secure a spot in the final.
Sunday's final will give Sinner a chance for revenge against Alcaraz, who beat American fifth seed Taylor Fritz 6-4, 5-7, 6-3, 7-6 (8-6) in the other semifinal.
"It's a huge honor for me to share the court again with Carlos," Sinner said.
"Hopefully it will be a good match like the last one - I don't know if it will be better because I don't know if that's possible, but we will try - hopefully it will be an enjoyable match," he added. ■
