Novak Djokovic vs Jannik Sinner preview
Top seed Novak Djokovic will square off against 10th seed Jannik Sinner in the quarterfinals of the 2022 Wimbledon Championships on Tuesday.
Djokovic has had a strange season to say the least. He was controversially kicked out of the Australian Open due to not being vaccinated and only played his first match of the year at the Dubai Tennis Championships. Since then, the Serb has won 21 out of 27 matches, with a title-winning campaign at the Rome Masters being his stand-out performance.
The 20-time Grand Slam Champion entered Wimbledon having opted not to compete at any of the build-up events, but has looked sharp on one of his favorite surfaces. He outclassed Rosmalen Grass Court Championships winner Tim van Rijthoven in the fourth round, snapping the Dutchman's nine-match win streak to move into his 13th Wimbledon quarterfinal.

Jannik Sinner has been a model of consistency this season. He's made the quarterfinals in six of his last 10 tournaments, including the Australian Open in January.
The World No. 13 entered Wimbledon without a win on grass. But he scored emphatic victories over veteran Stan Wawrinka, John Isner and most recently the teenage sensation Carlos Alcaraz on his way to the quarterfinals.
The 20-year-old outplayed the Spaniard, winning 6-1, 6-4, 6-7(8), 6-3 to reach the last eight at SW19 for the first time in his career and also became the youngest Italian to achieve the feat.
Sinner wins the battle of youth.

Novak Djokovic vs Jannik Sinner prediction
Djokovic will head into this match as the favorite, but Sinner will be high on confidence after his stunning victory over Alcaraz.
Djokovic put up a typically efficient performance against Tim van Rijthoven in the last round, winning 75% of his first-serve points. The Seb hit 29 winners and commited only 19 unforced errors. He looked in supreme touch towards the end of the match, giving the Dutchman no chance to stage a comeback.
Sinner won 74% of his first-serve points against Alcaraz and held serve throughout. The Italian created sharp angles with his groundstrokes from the baseline, which gave him the advantage during rallies.
Sinner will certainly pose the toughest challenge Djokovic has had to face at Wimbledon this year. The Italian has looked comfortable on grass and has shown no obvious weaknesses in his game.
That said, Djokovic is looking imperious at the moment and is a master at game-management. He is likely to figure out Sinner's weaknesses on the surface and exploit them to the fullest.
Pick: Djokovic to win in four sets.
