The future may belong to Italian Flavio Cobolli, but at this point Novak Djokovic is still capable of demolishing players 15 or more years younger than him.
The Serbian ace is in a record 14th Wimbledon semifinal, having scheduled a big duel against Janik Siner, after defeating Koboli in four sets - it was 6:7, 6:2, 7:5, 6:4.
It was uncertain, Coboli showed how good a tennis player he is, but against Novak - especially on the Wimbledon grass - it takes much more to create a sensation. Although the 23-year-old from Florence did everything...
Djokovic was the first to break in the first set, but then lost serve without winning a point and allowed his rival to reach 1:0 through a tiebreak, and he was convincing in the second...
He had a break advantage in the third as well, but his rival came back again before definitely falling in the 12th game.
It was 2:1 for Djokovic, but the Italian did not let up, and was competitive in the 4th part of the game - until the ninth game when the winner of 24 Grand Slam titles broke to make it 5:4.
Djokovic then had 40:15 on his serve, but he had to wait for the third match point to win, which followed an awkward slip and fall when he was lucky not to hurt his left knee.
And that was it - on Friday, he faced Sinner, who beat Ben Shelton in three sets.
Carlos Alcaraz and Taylor Fritz will meet in the second semi-final.
