Djokovic was his normal dominant self on Centre Court in his three-set win over Sinner.
The second-seeded Serbian looked more composed in the biggest moments of the match, especially in the third-set tiebreak, when he had to rally from a dropped point on serve.
Sinner played well enough to potentially force the match into four sets, but he lacked the killer instinct that Djokovic displayed countless times throughout his career.
The 23-time major winner avoided any service breaks outside of tiebreaks against the eighth-seeded Italian. Sinner went 0-for-6 on break points, while Djokovic went 2-for-9.
The two break-point conversions were vital for Djokovic to gain advantages in the first two sets.
Sinner had his chance to extend the match in the third-set tiebreak, but he committed one double fault and two unforced errors after he went up 3-1.
Sinner has one more chance to reach his first major final in 2023. The Italian is a five-time Grand Slam quarterfinalist and landed in the final eight in New York last year.
Djokovic will play for his fifth straight Wimbledon crown, and his 24th overall major title, on Sunday.
