THE ALL ENGLAND CLUB, LONDON — There are only two players who have been able to knock Ben Shelton out of Grand Slams this year: Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner. That’s good news and bad for Shelton, who exited Wimbledon in the quarterfinals Wednesday afternoon as Sinner sent him home, 7-6 (2), 6-4, 6-4.

Jannik Sinner has started his Wimbledon quarterfinal against Ben Shelton with a white arm sleeve over the right elbow he hurt in his previous match

But Sinner must first get past the American Shelton having survived an almighty scare against Grigor Dimitrov on Monday, in which he was two sets down before his opponent was forced to retire through injury.
