Novak Djokovic wanted to make this much clear after losing to Jannik Sinner in the Wimbledon semifinals Friday: This was not a farewell performance. Djokovic intends to compete again at the All England Club.

Top seed Jannik Sinner ensured Novak Djokovic will be absent from a Wimbledon men's singles final for the first time in eight years after handing the Serbian great a brutal Centre Court battering on Friday.

Novak Djokovic suffered pain, both physical and emotional, in the Wimbledon semifinals on Friday. The emotional pain comes from another lost chance at his 25th career Grand Slam. Djokovic had made six straight Wimbledon finals until this year when he fell to Jannik Sinner in three sets.
