Two power hitters competing in a slugfest early transitioned into a calculated display of consistency from World No. 1 Jannik Sinner during Wednesday's straight sets win over Ben Shelton in the quarterfinals at Wimbledon.

Italian Jannik Sinner advanced to the semifinals at Wimbledon 2025 after defeating American Ben Shelton. The grueling match lasted nearly 4 hours after starting at 9:30 A.M. Eastern Time on July 9, 2025.

Jannik Sinner sure didn't play like someone dealing with an injured right elbow Wednesday, using terrific serving and his usual booming forehand to dismiss 10th-seeded Ben Shelton 7-6 (2), 6-4, 6-4 and earn a second appearance in the Wimbledon semifinals.
