Can Djokovic Overcome The Sinner Challenge? 

It will not be easy for sure. The tall Italian is the current No. 1 and he happens to be one of the rare players to have a better head-to-head against the Serbian legend. The two have met each other nine times, with the Italian winning five. Sinner produced a trademark rock-solid display to down Shelton 7-6(2), 6-4, 6-4 and reach the last four. 

Sinner has been in dominant form this week and it will be a tall ask for Djokovic to beat him.
