They made it to the semi-finals of the Australian Open Yannick Sinner and Novak Djokovic. The Italian defeated Ben Shelton in three sets, and luck helped the Serb.
Lorenzo Musetti won the opening two sets in Nole, and after the fourth game of the third game he was forced to withdraw due to hip problems. Djokovic has not won a single set in the last two rounds – in the last round he was supposed to meet with Jakub Menshik, who refused the match.
