Djokovic sustained a muscular injury in his titanic tussle with Carlos Alcaraz earlier this week, and came onto the court at Rod Laver Arena on Friday with heavy strapping around his left leg.
The final matches for men's and women's singles at the 2025 Australian Open have been set. On the men's side, it is the top two ranked players in the world: Jannik Sinner and Alexander Zverev.
On Friday, Djokovic battled World No. 2 Alexander Zverev for 81 minutes in their semifinal match. However, Djokovic immediately retired after losing a 5-6 tiebreak in the first set.
