Before the 4th round of Wimbledon 2025, Jannik Sinner has not lost any set after the first 3 matches. However, in the competition with Grigor Dimitrov, the world's No. 1 player loses the first 2 sets in turn, respectively 3-6 and 5-7 respectively.
Set Set 3, when the two players were mixed 2-2, the incident happened. As soon as the serve, Dimitrov suddenly hugged his left chest painfully. He took a few steps and sat down on the pitch. Sinner immediately walked to the other side to check the opponent's situation. Dimitrov was later taken care of by the doctor and announced he could not continue playing.
This is the fifth consecutive Dimitrov cannot complete the match at a Grand Slam tournament. He gave up in Australian Open in January, Roland-Garros in May, as well as Wimbledon and US Open last year. This is a pity, especially when the Bulgarian player is having a good game against Sinner.
However, about 2 hours earlier, Sinner was also at risk of giving up due to elbow injury. At the seventh point of the match, he slipped when he ran across, fell hard behind Baseline and used his right hand to resist the yard. After that, the Italian player was medical care while being led 3-2 in set two and had to take painkillers.
Sinner said he would take MRI on Tuesday to check his elbow status and admit that he was a bit worried. In the quarterfinals, he will encounter the seed No. 10 Ben Shelton. If surpassing American rival, the world's No. 1 player can reunite Novak Djokovic in the semi -finals.
