Wimbledon day nine: Daniil Medvedev knocks out world number one Jannik Sinner

Djokovic accuses Wimbledon crowd of 'disrespect' after Rune victory

Jannik Sinner is out of Wimbledon after struggling with illness in a five-set defeat to Daniil Medvedev, who booked a rematch with defending champion Carlos Alcaraz in the semi-finals.

World No 1 Sinner started the match in control but had his blood pressure taken and left Centre Court for 11 minutes after being behind in the third. While the Italian battled to force the fifth, the World No 5 Medvedev showed his class to win the decider.

Medvedev’s victory avenges his defeat to Sinner in the Australian Open final at the start of the year, when the Russian was two sets up. He will face Alcaraz in the semi-finals for the second year in a row, after the defending champion came from behind to beat Tommy Paul.

In the women’s singles, Donna Vekic ended the run of qualifier Lulu Sun as the Croatian raced away with a 5-7 6-4 6-1 victory to reach her first Wimbledon semi-final. The world No 37 will face Jasmine Paolini, who destroyed Emma Navarro 6-2 6-1 to become the first Italian woman to reach the Wimbledon semi-finals.
