I was on my way home – Novak Djokovic relieved for Australian Open reprieve

Novak Djokovic admitted he was heading out of the Australian Open before injury to quarter-final opponent Lorenzo Musetti earned him a dramatic reprieve.

An out-of-sorts Djokovic looked down and out, trailing by two sets to love, but Musetti sought treatment for a thigh injury after three games of the third set and played just one more game before shaking hands.

The Italian was leading 6-4, 6-3, 1-3, but it quickly became clear he was in major trouble as he barely moved to shots, and he pulled off his bandana before heading to the net.
