“I can beat him”, Djokovic ‘challenges’ Sinner at Wimbledon 2026

“At this stage of my career, I can still compete and beat guys 15 years younger than me”, Djokovic said in the press conference, thus launching the challenge to Sinner, “today’s match was like a final, I gave everything”.

“I continue to try to prove to myself and others that I am capable of competing with the best players in the world and defeating them on the biggest stages,” continued Djokovic, who then recalled his victory against Sinner in the semifinal of the last Australian Open, “that’s what I did in Australia. That’s what I did here. I hope I can repeat myself again.”
