We know each other well by now, I'm trying to approach these battles as best I can and it's a great feeling to play in front of you," commented Sinner on Court No. 1 at Wimbledon after the match. This is the Italian's fourth consecutive slam semifinal .

"I remember my first time on Centre Court, my first semifinal, and it was special. I can't wait to come back. When you're young, it makes a huge difference to get used to these stages. This is a special tournament. We'll see who the next match will be against, but I hope it's a good one," added the Italian, who finally spoke about his elbow . "When there's so much tension in matches, you try not to think about it. My elbow has improved a lot compared to yesterday . But I'm not making excuses. Today I showed I can play my tennis," he concluded.
