Still, Djokovic dusted himself off and took the next two points, reaching the semifinals at the All England Club for a men’s-record 14th time with a 6-7 (6), 6-2, 7-5, 6-4 victory over No. 22 seed Flavio Cobolli to set up a showdown against No. 1 Jannik Sinner.

Djokovic is looking for a record-tying eighth Wimbledon title, but Sinner has beaten him in their last four meetings, including in French Open semifinal.

Sinner and Novak Djokovic earned their way into a star-studded men’s semifinal following their victories Wednesday.
