Jannik Sinner continues to take solid steps towards the title at Wimbledon 2026. The world number one defeated Jan-Lennard Struff to reach the tournament's semifinals, where he awaits the opponent between Novak Djokovic and Félix Auger-Aliassime after delivering one of his most complete performances on the grass courts of London.

The Italian highlighted the evolution he is experiencing as the rounds progress, explained the keys to his victory over Struff, and analyzed both a potential match-up with Djokovic and the challenges of facing a big server on this surface. Additionally, Jannik Sinner made a curious confession about a superstition within his team and discussed the aspect that could be crucial in retaining the title at this Wimbledon 2026.

A new step forward in his grass court game

Sinner acknowledged that the match against Struff posed a completely different challenge from the previous ones and was very satisfied with the way he responded. "It was a very tough match. He was a very different opponent than the ones I had faced so far. I think I played a very solid match and I am very happy with my performance. Now we will see what comes in the next round," he stated.

The Italian believes that his tennis is continuing to improve as the tournament progresses. "Today, I took another small step forward. He was a completely different opponent, with a big serve, and that is always challenging on grass. I am pleased with my performance and will now try to arrive as prepared as possible for the semifinals."

One of the aspects that gave him the most satisfaction was how he managed the delicate moments of the match, especially with his serve. "I felt that today I served very intelligently in crucial moments. Even when I was ahead in the score, I had a slight lapse of concentration in the second set, but I tried to stay mentally strong in all my service games."

He also emphasized the importance of being able to withstand when the match could change direction. "I am proud of how I handled the key points. If you lose the second set, everything can change, especially against a big server because you have much less control. That is something that leaves me satisfied and will be crucial for the remainder of the tournament."

Sinner awaits the opponent between Djokovic and Auger-Aliassime

While waiting to find out his semifinal opponent, Sinner explained that he would closely follow the match between Djokovic and Auger-Aliassime, aware that every match has its unique story.

"Of course, I will watch it. I enjoy watching tennis in any case. Then each match is different because tactical issues change depending on the opponent. I think it will be a great match to enjoy. We have two days until the semifinals, so tomorrow will be a calm day, and then the next day we will train harder to be prepared."

Regarding a potential new showdown against the Serbian, he refrained from drawing conclusions from their previous encounters. "First, we have to see what happens. If it's Novak, each match has its own story. Even when I had several victories against him in a row, I felt that each match was different. Additionally, on grass, if one day you don't serve well or don't feel the ball well, everything can become very complicated."

The Italian once again showed great respect for the seven-time tournament champion. "He has won this tournament many times and knows perfectly how to approach it. I am really looking forward to playing that match if it happens. If it ends up being Félix, we also know each other quite well. We have played several times and trained together before the tournament. He is a very aggressive player. In any case, I am happy to be back in the semifinals and will try to play the best tennis possible."

The heat of London and a curious superstition with his team

Asked about the high temperatures, Sinner assured that the conditions were not particularly demanding for him. "It was warm today but not excessively. In Australia, it is much tougher because the heat also rises from the court. There is also usually a lot of humidity there. Today was quite dry, and that changes the sensations a lot. Perhaps it was similar to Paris, but I felt quite comfortable."

The press conference ended on a lighter note when asked about the colors his team usually wears. "It's not me who chooses. There is only one color I don't like: white caps. We have a very bad winning percentage when they wear white caps, so I prefer to avoid them. They decide everything else," he joked.

Jannik Sinner is back among the top four at Wimbledon, conveying increasingly positive feelings on the court. The Italian believes his tennis is growing round by round and will approach the semifinals with the confidence of having found the balance between aggressiveness, serving, and mental strength in crucial moments.
