Wimbledon 2024: Djokovic in the semi-final without hitting a ball
Tennis superstar Novak Djokovic was given a walkover into the Wimbledon semi-finals on day 10 of the Championships before Elena Rybakina breezed through to the last four almost as comfortably after a straight-sets win over Elina Svitolina.
The unfortunate Alex De Minaur pulled out shortly after midday on Wednesday with a hip injury, which sent Djokovic through to a record-equalling 13th semi-final appearance at the All England Club.
Lorenzo Musetti will be his opponent after the Italian edged an entertaining five-setter with Taylor Fritz on Court One, which hosted the Queen and several other Royal Box guests due to the lack of singles on Centre Court.
Barbora Krejcikova also secured a first Wimbledon semi-final after she got the better of Jelena Ostapenko on one of the first days without rain of this year’s tournament.
