In an unexpected turn of events at the Australian Open, Novak Djokovic was forced to retire injured from his men’s singles semi-final match against Alexander Zverev. After losing the first set, Djokovic, who was aiming for a historic 25th Grand Slam title—a feat that would have set a new all-time record—could not continue due to an injury.
The match, which was highly anticipated, saw Djokovic struggling from the outset, and after dropping the first set, he was unable to overcome his physical limitations. Zverev, the German tennis star, took full advantage of Djokovic’s withdrawal, securing his spot in his first-ever Australian Open final. The victory marks a major milestone in Zverev’s career as he now sets his sights on capturing his first Grand Slam title.
