Novak Djokovic Retires from Australian Open 2025 Semi-Final Due to Injury Setback

Novak Djokovic Retires from Australian Open 2025 Semi-Final Due to Injury Setback

Novak Djokovic’s bid for a 25th Grand Slam title and an 11th Australian Open title came to an abrupt end when he was injured in the semifinals of the 2025 tournament.

Djokovic retired at the end of the first set in his men’s singles match against world number two Alexander Zverev on Friday, January 24.

Djokovic appeared to struggle with his movements, but the match went to a tiebreak in the first set, where he ultimately lost 7-6 (5) after an hour and 21 minutes of hard-fought action.

The Rod Laver Arena crowd was visibly stunned as the two players shook hands and embraced at the net after the set. Djokovic waved to the crowd as he left the court, some of whom booed, while Zverev sat on the bench in disbelief.

Novak Djokovic on possible farewell to Melbourne: “There’s a chance”

It was a tough first set that lasted 81 minutes under the scorching Melbourne sun.

While Zverev was perfect in every respect, Djokovic struggled with his serve, succeeding on just 54% of his first serves. The Paris 2024 gold medallist also looked uncomfortable at the net, winning just 36% of net points, partly due to a mistake in the final move of the match.

The 10-time Melbourne Park champion saluted the crowd as he left Rod Laver Arena, but was booed by frustrated fans.

When asked if this would be his last Australian Open, Djokovic admitted: “I don’t know, there is a chance. I just have to see how the season goes. I want to keep going, but whether I’m going to have a revised schedule or not for the next year, I’m not sure.”

Djokovic continues his search for his 25th Grand Slam title, his 11th Australian Open title and his 100th singles title.

Djokovic worried about partnership with Murray, Zverev in first final

The Serbian also commented on his partnership with Andy Murray, who joined his coaching team for the first Grand Slam of the season.

“We were both disappointed with what just happened but we didn’t talk about the future steps, we’re so fresh off the court,” Djokovic said.

“I’ll definitely have a chat with Andy and thank him for being here with me, and give him my feedback, which is of course positive, and see how he feels and we’ll make the next step.”

Meanwhile, Zverev is playing in his first final at Melbourne Park with a chance to win his first Grand Slam title, his third Grand Slam final.

The German praised Djokovic in his on-court interview after the match, saying: “There’s no guy on tour I respect more than Novak. He’s been one of my closest friends. Whenever I struggled, I could always call him. I have nothing but respect for him.”

In the final on Sunday (26 January), Zverev will face the winner of either world number one Jannik Sinner or American Ben Shelton.
