As Jannik Sinner pursues a fourth Grand Slam, he'll have somewhat of a physical limitation at Wimbledon. The Italian tennis star and world No. 1 is wearing a sleeve over his right arm for his quarterfinals matchup against Ben Shelton, a result of an injury he sustained in the last round.
THE ALL ENGLAND CLUB, LONDON — There are only two players who have been able to knock Ben Shelton out of Grand Slams this year: Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner. That’s good news and bad for Shelton, who exited Wimbledon in the quarterfinals Wednesday afternoon as Sinner sent him home, 7-6 (2), 6-4, 6-4.
Jannik Sinner advanced to the semifinals at Wimbledon and delivered a surprising message about the tournament in comparison to other tennis competitions.
American Ben Shelton said he paid the price for trying to serve too fast after losing 7-6(2) 6-4 6-4 to Jannik Sinner in the Wimbledon quarter-finals on Wednesday. The 22-year-old left-hander cranked out some huge firepower as he tried to knock the ice-cool Sinner off his stride but in the big moments his big weapons failed him.
