Wimbledon 2025, Day 12: Can Novak Djokovic ever win another slam?

Listen on

Episode notes

George Bellshaw and James Gray look back at men's semi-final day at Wimbledon, in which Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner booked a rerun of the French Open final.

• Novak Djokovic admitted afterwards that age has caught up with him and that he keeps turning up to matches against Sinner and Alcaraz with the tank half-empty...
• ...but the Serb says it is not his last Wimbledon

• Meanwhile Jannik Sinner is a fourth-round lucky loser into the SW19 final for the first time...
• ...but what would have happened if Grigor Dimitrov HAD beaten him in the last 16?

• Carlos Alcaraz produces a near-perfect performance, barring one brain-fart service game, to down Taylor Fritz
• The American still has an unimpressive record against top 10 players at grand slams and must be wondering when these two will stop winning

• And Andre Agassi was a welcome surprise commentator on the first semi-final, outshining Andrew Castle and Tim Henman with his pithy and analytical breakdowns: https://inews.co.uk/sport/tennis/andre-agassi-bbc-coverage-tennis-watchable-3801983
