Two power hitters competing in a slugfest early transitioned into a calculated display of consistency from World No. 1 Jannik Sinner during Wednesday's straight sets win over Ben Shelton in the quarterfinals at Wimbledon.

THE ALL ENGLAND CLUB, LONDON — There are only two players who have been able to knock Ben Shelton out of Grand Slams this year: Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner. That’s good news and bad for Shelton, who exited Wimbledon in the quarterfinals Wednesday afternoon as Sinner sent him home, 7-6 (2), 6-4, 6-4.

Three-time Grand Slam champion Jannik Sinner slipped and fell during his fourth-round match against Grigor Dimitrov, resulting in an elbow injury that significantly impacted his performance. Despite this setback, Sinner won the match after Dimitrov retired due to a torn chest muscle.

Jannik Sinner, wearing a white arm sleeve over the right elbow he injured in his previous match, earned a routine 7-6 (2), 6-4, 6-4 win over American Ben Shelton on Wednesday to reach the Wimbledon semifinals.

As Jannik Sinner pursues a fourth Grand Slam, he'll have somewhat of a physical limitation at Wimbledon. The Italian tennis star and world No. 1 is wearing a sleeve over his right arm for his quarterfinals matchup against Ben Shelton, a result of an injury he sustained in the last round.

World no1 Jannik Sinner was able to practice ahead of today's Wimbledon quarter-final against Ben Shelton. Sinner on Monday hurt his elbow after slipping on the baseline during his fourth-round match with Grigor Dimitrov, which he was trailing by two sets before the Bulgarian was forced to retire with an apparent pectoral injury.
