Serbia's Novak Djokovic interacts with his children on the Aorangi practice courts on the tenth day of the 2024 Wimbledon Championships at The All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in Wimbledon , southwest London, on July 10, 2024.LONDON – Novak Djokovic progressed to a record-equaling 13th Wimbledon semifinal without hitting a ball on Wednesday after Alex de Minaur pulled out injured as former champion Elena Rybakina eased through.
De Minaur, who beat Djokovic at the United Cup in January, said: "It's no secret that this would have been the biggest match of my career but it's a unique injury. The Serb has a 5-1 winning record over 22-year-old Musetti, including a come-from-behind five-set victory at the French Open last month."He's a legend everywhere and has done unthinkable things. We've played lots of times and I expect a huge fight.
The fourth seed was broken in the first game in front of the watching Queen Camilla but hit back straight away and barely put a foot wrong after that. Victory for the 28-year-old comes after a miserable run in 2024, with her season marred by injury and illness.
