Djokovic's late career lives on impeccable serving and first-strike tennis. In Sinner, he faces the apex predator of that guise of the sport

Novak Djokovic faced a major turning point after his Wimbledon 2025 semi-final loss to Jannik Sinner, as the rising star advanced to his first final. The Serbian legend opened up about the growing challenge of competing at the top level.

Fast forward to his semifinal against Jannik Sinner, and something pretty unexpected happened on court: Sinner actually apologized to Novak about that fall when the two met at the net following match point. And of course, in true Djokovic fashion, he had the classiest response that’s got everyone talking about his sportsmanship.
