The top-ranked player, wearing a sleeve on his right elbow, reaches the semifinals with a 7-6 (2), 6-4, 6-4 victory over the 10th-seeded American.

By Martyn Herman LONDON (Reuters) -World number one Jannik Sinner shrugged off any fears about his injured elbow with a clinical defeat of powerful young American 10th seed Ben Shelton to reach the Wimbledon semi-final for the second time on Wednesday.

Sinner underwent the scan in the morning and a scheduled practice session at 4pm on Wimbledon's Aorangi Park was subsequently cancelled, but he was able to hit "a few balls" in a private session after the scan, according to coach Darren Cahill.

Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner will attempt to join Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer (2006-08) as the only players in the Open Era to meet in both the French Open and Wimbledon finals in the same year.
