Jannik Sinner vs Novak Djokovic Analysis

Sinner has always been a good player, but over the last year, he’s taken off. The Italian only lost six times in 2024 and won eight titles, including three of the four Majors. Sinner cleaned up the field. He’s carried that brilliance into 2025, going 17-1 and winning the only Grand Slam so far, the Australian Open. Sinner beat Zverev in the final in Melbourne. His lone defeat of the campaign was against Carlos Alcaraz just before the French Open, falling in the Rome final.

A potential rematch could be in the cards if Sinner gets past Djokovic on Friday as Alcaraz is facing fellow Italian Lorenzo Musetti in the other semifinal. Sinner and Alcaraz are two of the most electrifying players on the ATP Tour who are a treat to watch. Sinner beat Alexander Bublik in the quarterfinals and also bested Andrey Rublev in the fourth round. He hasn’t lost a set and has only gone to two tiebreakers. Dominant.

Djokovic isn’t the same force as the past, which isn’t a surprise. After all, he’s now 38-years-old, and the Serbian has nothing left to prove with 24 Grand Slam titles to his name. But, he’s clearly still a star, finding his way into the semis of a tournament he hasn’t always played that well in. Nole’s toughest oppositions up to this point were Cam Norrie and Zverev, who has found his form over the last year.

But, Djokovic managed to defeat the big German in a four-set thriller, taking the final three sets after losing the first. Nole showed resilience in a very long match, with numerous marathon rallies. He’ll need some serious rest before Friday because Sinner is filled with energy and will certainly make Djokovic run.

Jannik Sinner vs Novak Djokovic Picks

The last time Sinner and Djokovic met in a Major, it went five sets at the Aussie Open last year. Neither player is going to go down without a fight, but it’s hard to bet against Sinner when he’s in such terrific form. That being said, it will be a battle, and Nole will push him to the brink.
