It’s a clash of generations on Centre Court this Friday as Jannik Sinner faces Novak Djokovic in the 2025 Wimbledon semifinal. The match is set to ignite All England Club with high stakes and elite talent on both sides of the net.

Why the 2025 Wimbledon Odds Favor Sinner

Despite a rocky year — including a three-month suspension for banned substances — Sinner has made a thunderous comeback. Returning in May, he charged to the finals in both the ATP Rome and French Open, narrowly losing to Carlos Alcaraz in both.

After a surprise exit at ATP Halle, Sinner came to Wimbledon with a point to prove. He’s dominated on grass, winning four of his five matches in straight sets. The only hiccup came against Grigor Dimitrov, who led 2-0 in sets before injury forced his retirement.

Sinner’s explosive form and high-level consistency in 2025 explain why sportsbooks are backing him to win not just this match — but the entire tournament.

Novak Djokovic: Locked In and Ready for Battle

Novak Djokovic may be 38, but he’s still an unstoppable force, especially when he plays with a chip on his shoulder. And right now, he has plenty of motivation.

Although never the fan favorite at Wimbledon (that honor belonged to Federer), Djokovic may find Centre Court support this time, thanks to lingering skepticism around Sinner’s recent ban.

But Novak has bigger things on his mind — like major title No. 25. He’s also made headlines for subtly supporting anti-government protests in Serbia, a stance that sparked criticism back home. Just like when he was deported from Australia in 2022, Djokovic is using adversity as fuel.

History shows a motivated Djokovic is a dangerous one — and this week, he looks hungrier than ever.
