Novak reaches the Wimbledon final for the seventh time!
After a great fight, World No. 1 defeated the 12th tennis player in the world, Canadian Denis Shapovalov in straight sets - 7: 6 (3), 7: 5, 7: 5.
Novak did not shine as far as the game is concerned in most of the match, but he managed to do what was most important, get those most important points and thus reach the threshold of a new, sixth Wimbledon title and the 20th slam in his career.
On Sunday, July 11, at 3 pm, in the grand final, his opponent will be the Italian tennis player Matteo Berrettini.
This was Novak's 101st victory on the grass, 78th at Wimbledon and 316th when it comes to Grand Slam tournaments, and on Sunday he will play in his jubilee 30th Grand Slam final.
The match on the Central Court lasted 163 minutes and was as exciting as the previous two matches with the Canadian.

The two-time defending champion will face No. 7 Matteo Berrettini in Sunday's final, fighting for the sixth trophy of the prestigious London tournament.
After the great victory on the day when Ivanievi became the Wimbledon champion, he had something to say:
"The result does not show the real course of the match, he served great and played better in the first and good part of the second set. He had great chances and I would like you to applaud him once again for everything he did today. This was his first semifinal of the Grand Slam and you saw that he was very emotional, and you will surely see him in the finals in the future because he is an extraordinary player", said Djokovic about his opponent Shapovalov.
