Sinner's victory (7-6, 6-4, 6-4) was more competitive than the final tally indicates, but prevailing in all the key moments of the match despite elbow soreness from the Italian is a notable feat.

Italian top seed Jannik Sinner did not let an elbow injury hamper his performance as he beat American opponent Ben Shelton to reach the Wimbledon semi-finals.

At the end of the first set, Sinner finished with the almost laughably good statistics of 15 winners and one – yes, one! – unforced error.
