Novak Djokovic crashed out of Australian Open 2025 after he retired mid-match due to injury during the men's singles semi-final encounter against Alexander Zverev on Friday. Zverev won the first set 7-6 but Djokovic went to the net and shook his opponents hand to inform him about his decision. Djokovic was carrying an injury from his quarter-final match against Carlos Alcaraz and he looked in a bit of bother as Zverev made him engage in long rallies in the first set. Zverev will now take on the winner of the match between Ben Shelton and Jannik Sinner in the final of the Australian Open on Sunday.
