LONDON -- LONDON (AP) — Novak Djokovic began expressing a heartfelt thought about returning to the semifinals at the All England Club — “It means the world to me,” he was saying, “that I’m still able, at 38, to play (in the) final stages of Wimbledon” — when the Centre Court crowd interrupted with yelling and applause.

Jannik Sinner and Ben Shelton will play at the Wimbledon quarterfinals on Wednesday, July 9, at 9:10 a.m. ET/6:10 a.m. PT at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in London. This match isn't the first time Sinner and Shelton have played each other.

Jannik Sinner sure didn’t play like someone dealing with an injured right elbow Wednesday, using terrific serving and his usual booming forehand to dismiss 10th-seeded Ben Shelton 7-6 (2), 6-4, 6-4 and earn a second appearance in the Wimbledon semifinals.
