Wimbledon 2025: Jannik Sinner handed reprieve after Grigor Dimitrov suffers injury heartbreak; Novak Djokovic survives
Jannik Sinner (L) assists Grigor Dimitrov after he went down with an injury which forced him to retire from a fourth round men's singles match at the Wimbledon Tennis Championships in London. (AP) Jannik Sinner progressed to the Wimbledon quarter-finals on Monday after a tearful Grigor Dimitrov pulled out injured while in total control of the match while Novak Djokovic survived a scare. World number one Sinner and seven-time champion Djokovic remain on course for a mouthwatering semi-final clash but the top seed's match on Centre Court was overshadowed by Dimitrov's heartbreak. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! The Italian was staring at the exit door trailing 3-6, 5-7, 2-2 before the Bulgarian 19th seed pulled up holding his right pectoral muscle and was unable to continue. Sinner rushed to his aid but his 34-year-old opponent was barely able to wave to acknowledge the crowd's warm ovation. "Honestly I don't know what to say," said Sinner. "He is an incredible player, I think we all saw this today. "He's been so unlucky in the past couple of years. An incredible player, a good friend of mine also. We understand each other very well off the court too. "Seeing him in this position, honestly, if there would be a chance that he could play the next round, he would deserve it." The injury-prone Dimitrov has now been forced to retire in each of his past five Grand Slam appearances. Sinner himself suffered a nasty fall in the opening game of the fourth-round clash and appeared to be suffering discomfort in his right elbow. The three-time Grand Slam champion had been in regal form in the first three rounds at the All England Club, dropping just 17 games. Sinner, who is due to face American 10th seed Ben Shelton in the quarter-finals, said he would be having an MRI scan on Tuesday to assess the extent of the damage to his elbow. Shelton beat Italy's Lorenzo Sonego in four sets. Federer 'curse' Novak Djokovic celebrates after beating Alex de Minaur during a fourth round men's singles match at the Wimbledon Tennis Championships in London. (AP) Earlier, sixth seed Djokovic endured a nightmare start to his match against Australian 11th seed Alex de Minaur but battled back to win 1-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4. Fresh from his 100th win at Wimbledon on Saturday, making him the third player to achieve that feat after Martina Navratilova and Roger Federer , Djokovic reached his 16th quarter-final at the tournament. Aged 38, the Serb is aiming to win a record 25th major title, breaking a tie with the long-retired Margaret Court, and to equal Federer's record of eight men's crowns at the All England Club. That would make him the oldest Grand Slam singles champion in the Open era. Djokovic's 101st victory at Wimbledon came under the gaze of the Swiss great, who was sitting in the front row of the royal box alongside his wife Mirka. Tennis legend Roger Federer (L) and his wife Mirka sit in the Royal Box on Centre Court on Day 8 of the Wimbledon Tennis Championships in London. (AP) "It's probably the first time he's watching me and I've won the match," he said. "The last couple I lost, so good to break the curse. "No, it's great, obviously, great to have Roger, a huge champion and someone that I admired and respected a lot. "We shared the stage for so many years, and it's great to have him back." In the last eight, Djokovic faces Italian 22nd seed Flavio Cobolli, who beat former Wimbledon runner-up Marin Cilic 6-4, 6-4, 6-7 (4/7), 7-6 (7/3). In the women's draw, Iga Swiatek continued her serene progress with a 6-4, 6-1 rout of Danish 23rd seed Clara Tauson. Swiatek, fourth in the rankings, is a five-time Grand Slam winner but has never made a Wimbledon semi-final. The 24-year-old is in a strong position in the second week of the tournament after the exit of so many of the top seeds. "Honestly it's pretty amazing. It's the first time I really enjoyed London, sorry guys," Swiatek said, referring to her previous Wimbledon woes. "We are tennis players, so we feel well off the court when we feel well on the court." The Polish player next faces Russian 19th seed Liudmila Samsonova, who beat Spain's Jessica Bouzas Maneiro 7-5, 7-5. Russian seventh seed Mirra Andreeva, 18, reached the Wimbledon quarter-finals for the first time with a 6-2, 6-3 win against American 10th seed Emma Navarro, who ended Barbora Krejcikova's reign as champion on Saturday. Andreeva next plays Swiss former Olympic champion Belinda Bencic, who beat Russian world number 17 Ekaterina Alexandrova 7-6 (7/4), 6-4.

Shikhar Dhawan Interview: 'Shubman Gill Is Elegant, Rishabh Pant Brings Unpredictability'
Last Updated: Shikhar Dhawan speaks to News18 CricketNext about the future of Indian cricket, from Vaibhav Suryavanshi's talent, to Gill-Pant dynamic and his choice of next white-ball openers. Shikhar Dhawan's retirement from the Indian team was never just about losing a top-class opener. The country's talent is vast, and it was always going to happen — sooner for him than the other 2/3rd of the famous top-order trio, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, because of their stature and leadership needs. It was more about losing a character. Dhawan in Blue brought some fun into the hard work in one of the best white-ball teams the country has seen, whether it was with his relentless ability to hit pacers through covers, that infectious smile in celebrating hundreds, or the obvious, thigh-slaps. So when News18 CricketNext got the opportunity to ask the former opener a few questions, we touched upon a variety of subjects, mostly about the team's journey after him. Excerpts: The One felt right because people know the Shikhar who scored runs, celebrated with thigh fives, and danced through victories. But this book dives into the other side of the doubts, the struggle & the pressure no one saw. It's about everything that made me the person I am, not just the player. Are you following the ongoing Test series between India and England? You had a really underrated Test career. Do you miss the format? I do keep an eye on it. I've always loved Test cricket, it's where your patience, technique, and temperament get tested like nowhere else. I have some beautiful memories, especially that debut hundred in Mohali. They definitely have the talent and the stage. Rishabh brings unpredictability, while Gill is calm and elegant. If they stick around, stay grounded, and keep learning they could form that core, the one that wins big games under pressure. But the journey is long and consistency and fitness will decide how far they go. What do you think about Vaibhav Suryavanshi's talent? Is it too early to set expectations? And if you had to give him one piece of advice? The boy's got something special, no doubt. But yeah, it's still early days. My advice would be don't rush the process. Fame & form, they come and go. What stays is discipline, humility, and how well you know yourself. If he can hold onto that, he'll definitely go far. India has an abundance of openers in Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Abhishek Sharma, KL Rahul, and so many more. Who are your first-choice picks going forward in ODIs and T20Is? It's a great sign for Indian cricket. Jaiswal and Gill are solid they are fearless, and still evolving. I'd back them for the long run. Abhishek has that aggression & flair. The bench strength is insane. The key will be consistency and handling pressure when it really matters & I think that will define who will open the innings in respective formats.

India U-19 Lose Final ODI vs England U-19 But Clinch Series
The Indian U-19 team failed to finish on a high, going down by seven wickets to England U-19 in the inconsequential fifth Youth ODI on Monday. India had taken an unassailable 3-1 lead in the five-match series after registering a 55-run victory in the fourth game on Saturday. Opting to bat, India produced a below-par batting effort to conjure just 210 for 9, which the the hosts chased down with consummate ease with 113 balls to spare. India endured a disastrous start, losing skipper Ayush Mhatre (1) and Vihaan Malhotra (1) inside three overs with the scoreboard reading 9. Teen sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi (33 off 42) could not produce his attacking prowess but stitched vital 51 runs with Rahul Kumar (21) to stabilise the innings. Just when the partnership was flourishing Suryavanshi departed, handing a catch to Alex Green off the bowling of Sebastian Morgan. He struck three fours and two sixes during his brief stay. Rahul Kumar too didn't last long, handing a catch to BJ Dawkins off the bowing of Green. Wickets continued to tumble for India as wicketkeeper Harvnash Pangalia (24), Kanishk Chauhan (24) and Deepesh Devendran (0) were dismissed in quick succession. RS Ambrish turned out to be the lone bright spot in India's batting department as he held one end up with a gritty 66 off 81 balls with the help of six boundaries. The English bowlers got the better of the Indian batting as they restricted the visitors to a below-par total. Chasing the paltry score, England rode on Ben Mayes' unbeaten 82, BJ Dawkins' 66 and skipper Thomas Rew's unbeaten 37-ball 49 to overhaul the target easily. Mayes struck 11 boundaries and one six during his 76-ball knock, while Dawkins hit nine fours and three hits over the fence in his 53-ball stay. Skipper Rew was not to be left behind as he too scored quickly, piling up his runs with the help of seven fours and one six. For India, leg-spinner Naman Pushpak picked up two wickets for 65 runs, while Deepesh Devendran scalped one giving away 34 of his seven overs. Brief Scores: India U-19: 210 for 9 in 50 overs (RS Ambrish 66; Ralphie Albert 2/24, Alex French 2/37).
