Novak Djokovic wanted to make this much clear after losing to Jannik Sinner in the Wimbledon semifinals Friday: This was not a farewell performance. Djokovic intends to compete again at the All England Club.

World No. 1 Jannik Sinner dismantled Novak Djokovic in straight sets, 6‑3, 6‑3, 6‑4, to claim his first Wimbledon final berth and, in doing so, halted Djokovic’s run of six consecutive appearances in this championship match.

Novak Djokovic went up against one of the sport’s most powerful young players Friday and fell to Jannik Sinner in the Wimbledon semifinal round Friday. The 38-year-old Djokovic was hoping to get a chance to compete against superstar Carlos Alcaraz in the championship Sunday, but Sinner dominated in a 6-3, 6-3, 6-4 triumph.
