Jannik Sinner has advanced to the Wimbledon quarterfinals despite hurting his right elbow on a fall and dropping the first two sets, because his opponent, Grigor Dimitrov, had to quit with an injured pectoral muscle.

The top-seeded Italian, dealing with an apparent arm injury, had dropped the first two sets to Grigor Dimitrov before the Bulgarian was forced to retire because of injury.

Jannik Sinner is through to the Wimbledon quarterfinals, though not in the way he wanted. Sinner lost the first two sets of his fourth-round match with Grigor Dimitrov on Monday before Dimitrov was forced to retire from the match after suffering an apparent pectoral injury.
