Novak Djokovic says he expects to play Wimbledon again next year, despite being beaten in straight sets by Jannik Sinner in the men’s singles semi-final. Djokovic, who will turn 40 before Wimbledon starts in 2027, had been chasing what would have been his record-breaking 25th Grand Slam singles title and an eighth Wimbledon championship. According to multiple reports, the 38-year-old lost 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 to Sinner on Centre Court, a result that ended Djokovic’s run to an 11th Wimbledon final. The outlets also note that Djokovic says he has shown he can still compete at the highest level, and he frames his plans as “at least one more time” at Wimbledon. Following the defeat, Djokovic posts on social media thanking fans for their support and praising Sinner’s performance, while wishing him success in the final. Sinner, meanwhile, advances to Sunday’s final against Alexander Zverev and is described as defending his Wimbledon title after reaching a second consecutive final.
