Twenty-year-old Jannik Sinner was in fine form as he nearly knocked the mighty Novak Djokovic out in their Wimbledon quarter-final clash on Tuesday, but the Serb came back fighting from two sets down to eventually win the thrilling encounter.
Sinner, who had previously beaten Carlos Alcaraz in the round of 16, showcased his abilities in the five-set encounter. There was one rally in particular which was as intense as rallies get and it saw both players scrambling across the court for 20 shots, which included lobs, volleys and smashes.
The rally, described as "outrageous" by Wimbledon's Twitter handle, was eventually won when Sinner lobbed the ball over Djokovic from the baseline. "An outrageous rally, sealed in style by Jannik Sinner," Wimbledon tweeted along with the video.
