'I don't take this as a win' - Sinner on Dimitrov match
Wimbledon 2025Dates: 30 June-13 July Venue: All England ClubCoverage: Live across BBC TV, radio and online with extensive coverage on BBC iPlayer, Red Button, Connected TVs and mobile app. Full coverage guide. Jannik Sinner said he could not accept his progress to the Wimbledon quarter-finals "as a win" after a tearful Grigor Dimitrov was forced to retire in an emotional end to their number one Sinner was staring at the prospect of a shock defeat as he trailed Dimitrov by two sets when the Bulgarian 19th seed dropped to the floor in 34-year-old Dimitrov, who has now been forced to retire in each of his past five Grand Slam appearances, clenched his right pectoral muscle and could not continue following a short medical Sinner, a three-time major winner, has become only the ninth man in the Open era to reach seven consecutive Grand Slam that was not an achievement he felt that he could celebrate on Centre Court on Monday night, instead concerned only with his friend's wellbeing after a heartbreaking conclusion. Sinner, who reappeared for his on-court interview after assisting a devastated Dimitrov off the court, said: "I don't take this as a win at all, this is just an unfortunate moment for all of us to witness. "He has struggled in the last Grand Slams with injuries a lot, so seeing him again with this injury is very tough. "We all saw by his reaction how much he cares about the sport, he is one of the hardest working players on tour and it is very unfortunate."The 23-year-old added, before calling on the crowd to join him in applauding Dimitrov and his team: "This is not the end we wanted to see and it's very sad. We all wish him only the best." Sinner, himself hampered by an elbow issue following a fall earlier in the match, looked set to be on the receiving end of a huge upset as he trailed 6-3 7-5 2-2 after two came after his record-equalling start to the tournament, in which he lost just 17 games across three impressive performances - the joint-fewest in the Open would have set another record had he lost no more than nine games to Dimitrov - but his inspired opponent, who has reached eight major quarter-finals, had surpassed that total midway through the second 12 months after he retired from his fourth-round match against Daniil Medvedev at the All England Club due to a knee injury, Dimitrov reappeared from his medical timeout in tears knowing his tournament was over."I don't know what to say because he is an incredible player and we all saw this today," said Sinner, who will play American 10th seed Ben Shelton next."He has been so unlucky in the past couple of years. He is a good friend of mine and we understand each other very well off the court too. "Seeing him in this position, if there was a chance for him to play in the next round he would deserve it. "Mostly, I hope he has a speedy recovery."Sinner later added in his news conference that he will have an MRI scan on his elbow tomorrow "to see if there's something serious".

Jannik Sinner gets reprieve as Grigor Dimitrov forced to retire when two sets up
The 34-year-old Bulgarian had won the first two sets 6-3 7-5 and was playing some inspired tennis when, at 2-2 in the third, he clutched his chest after serving an ace. Sinner rushed around the net to check on his opponent as he sat, in some distress, on the court. The 19th seed was helped to his feet by two physios and went off to receive treatment, before returning a few minutes later to shake Sinner's hand. It was more dreadful luck for a popular player, who had to retire injured from matches in the last four grand slams, including against Daniil Medvedev here at the same stage last year. Sinner, who helped Dimitrov pack his rackets away and carried his bag off court, said: 'I don't know what to say. He is an incredible player, I think we all saw this today. 'He's been so unlucky in the past couple of years. An incredible player, a good friend also. Seeing him in this position, if there would be a chance he could play the next round he would deserve it. A sight we never want to see. Grigor Dimitrov is forced to retire while leading two sets to love. Everyone at #Wimbledon is wishing you a speedy recovery, Grigor 💚💜 — Wimbledon (@Wimbledon) July 7, 2025 'I hope he has a speedy recovery. I don't take this as a win at all. This is just a very unfortunate moment to witness for all of us. 'In the last grand slams he struggled a lot. Seeing him again having this kind of injury is very, very tough. It's very sad. We all wish him only the best, let's have applause for him.' It was a major reprieve for Sinner, the three-time grand slam winner who looked set to be on the end of a seismic shock in front of a stunned Centre Court. The Italian had slipped on the baseline in the opening game and took a medical timeout midway through the second set for treatment on his right wrist and elbow. But the physio was unable to alleviate the real pain for Sinner, which was Dimitrov serving up a grass-court clinic on a surface the 23-year-old has yet to get to grips with. The veteran was rolling back the years, evoking memories of the same player who ended Andy Murray's title defence way back in 2014. Sadly, after two hours and eight minutes of vintage Dimitrov, his body let him down again with what looked like an injury to his right pectoral. Get well soon, my friend. Wishing you all the best ❤️🩹 @GrigorDimitrov — Jannik Sinner (@janniksin) July 7, 2025 Dimitrov was barely able to raise his right arm to acknowledge the warm applause from the crowd as he tearfully left the court. It was later announced he would not be fulfilling any media commitments on medical advice. Sinner admitted his elbow was hindering his serve after that early fall and said: 'Tomorrow we will check to see how it is.' The top seed is due to play American Ben Shelton in the quarter-finals on Wednesday.

Novak Djokovic names the two 'favourites' to win Wimbledon
Novak Djokovic has rejected his former coach's claims that he is the 'favourite' to win Wimbledon. Goran Ivanisevic, who coached Djokovic to many Grand Slam titles and won Wimbledon himself in 2001, recently claimed the 38-year-old was the man to beat in SW19. Djokovic is bidding to equal Roger Federer's tally of eight Wimbledon titles and become the first player in history to win 25 Grand Slam singles titles. The Serbian legend has enjoyed a relatively stress-free run to the quarter-finals, dropping just two sets in his first four wins at the All England Club. Djokovic's latest four-set win came against Alex de Minaur after the Australian number one stunned Centre Court by taking the opener 6-1. Speaking earlier this week, Ivanisevic claimed the player he used to coach was the 'favourite' to triumph at Wimbledon come Sunday evening. 'Here [at Wimbledon], I see his chance,' Ivanisevic told Clay Tennis. 'Looking at the draw, I don't think no one can beat Djokovic before the semis. 'He's never lost to [potential semi-final opponent] Jannik Sinner here. OK, Australian Open and Roland Garros, but here Novak's beaten him twice. 'In my view, Novak's the favourite, no matter how sentimental that sounds. Alcaraz has beaten him twice, but last year Novak came after knee surgery, and in 2023 we all remember how close it was. 'Everyone says this is his last chance – I don't agree. Plus, he's the best grass-court player, experienced, he knows exactly what it takes here. It'll be fascinating.' Ivanisevic's comments were put to Djokovic following his fourth-round win and while the veteran appreciated the support, he disagreed. Tuesday, 8th July Taylor Fritz vs Karen Khachanov Cameron Norrie vs Carlos Alcaraz Wednesday, 9th July Jannik Sinner vs Ben Shelton Flavio Cobolli vs Novak Djokovic Instead, Djokovic views two-time defending champion Carlos Alcaraz and world number one Jannik Sinner as the two 'favourites' for the title. 'I love Goran, and I'm happy he loves me back, but I don't think I'm a favourite against these guys at the moment,' Djokovic admitted. 'I think they are, both of them. 'But I do probably have my best chance here against them here, yeah. If it comes down to me facing one of them or two of them, which I hope so, it means I would proceed to the final and then yeah, I'll obviously look for my best game to win. 'I do think have a chance. There's no doubt about it. I think my results on grass even in the previous years are a testament to my confidence on this surface. 'I've been playing some really good tennis this year. So I feel good about myself. I feel confident. I feel motivated to go all the way. Let's see what happens. Alcaraz was taken to five sets by the retiring Fabio Fognini in his opener but has looked commanding since then, beating the dangerous Andrey Rublev last time out. Sinner, meanwhile, had not dropped a set before he was handed a walkover in a match against Gregor Dimitrov in which he was two sets behind. More Trending Dimitrov looked on course to stun the three-time Grand Slam champion but then had to retire in the third set through injury. It was a fortunate break for Sinner as he bids to win Wimbledon for the first time but he too was struggling with an injury concern that he will hope settles down before his quarter-final. Sinner faces America's world number ten Ben Shelton for a place in the semi-finals, while defending champion Alcaraz takes on Great Britain's Cameron Norrie. Djokovic is set to meet Italy's Flavio Cobolli – contesting his first Grand Slam quarter-final – while Taylor Fritz comes up against Karen Khachanov. For more stories like this, check our sport page.
