Caption: Sinner Reaches Wimbledon Quarter-Finals as Dimitrov Retires Injured. Top seed Jannik Sinner advanced to the quarter-finals of Wimbledon after his opponent, Grigor Dimitrov, retired injured. Dimitrov was leading 6-3, 7-5, 2-2 when he retired after injuring himself following an ace, continuing his streak of withdrawals from major tournaments due to injury. Sinner, who was struggling with a right elbow issue, expressed sympathy for Dimitrov, calling him an incredible player and a good friend. The Italian said he felt sorry for Dimitrov’s misfortune, stating, "It's an unfortunate moment to witness for all of us.” Sinner had slipped and fallen early in the match, leading to discomfort, particularly when serving and hitting forehands. The 23-year-old revealed he would undergo an MRI scan to assess the extent of his elbow injury and adjust accordingly. In the next round, Sinner will face American 10th seed Ben Shelton, who advanced to the quarter-finals after beating Italy’s Lorenzo Sonego. Another Italian, Flavio Cobolli, also made it to the quarter-finals, defeating Marin Cilic in a four-set match, marking his first quarter-final at Wimbledon.
