I guess 15 min later, you are still thinking he’s not injured right?So how many games into the first set will Novak get another injury that he eventually overcomes 3 sets later ?

Should win against Shelton comfortably.
Looking at past results, I would not be surprised if Zverev beats Sinner in the final. However, he doesn't have the best Grand Slam finals results...

That's what was so strange, he didn't show any signs he was injured or struggling and then all of a sudden he just pulls the pin.
He's injured...****ing weird people here.

Disappointing end. Djokovic has done well to get this far.
Good luck to Zverev in the final. Probably deserves a slam after all the near misses.

I just hope we don't get the worst Australian Open semi final/final combination in recent memory. Because on paper, we could be heading there after the mini match today and prospective matches to come.
I'm glad Zverev called out the crowd for their booing. Wha's with the hoodie Ben.
Not that bizarre the theme for AO 25 is walkover. There have been so many of them since R1.

I hope Shelton wins the AO and does the ultimate celebration.

Yeh if Sinner wins comfortably tonight, which on paper he should, I think the final could be quite one-sided.
15 minutes ? I posted that before the match started!!
I'm probably the biggest Novak hater here, but I understand when a player is injured they can't continue.
Yes he did.

Well, he did say if Alcaraz won the second set last match, he would have retired there.
Probably knew that he was no chance of winning against Zverev today.

The crowd was pathetic for booing Djokovic. Good to see Zverev call it out.
Yes it is bizarre to retire mid match without at least a medical timeout and no obvious signs of discomfort and only going off of recent matches that something is pre-existing.

So he goes into the game injured, plays one set and pulls the pin, the people who pay there hard earn money to watch the game, do they get a refund

Zverev spoke so well there. Respect.
AO crowd again embarrassing themselves. Who boos an injured player...

It’s the same injury he’s dealt with last two matches he’d know whether he could have got through it. Couldn’t.
Oh well it’s smart was never winning and didn’t lose points this year.

You couldn't tell from how they treated the queen a few matches ago?
Was poor way before that it’s been shocking for years

I blame Kyrgios and his crowd at John Cain Arena.
