Novak Djokovic received a walkover into the Wimbledon semi-finals on Wednesday after the seven-time champion’s scheduled opponent, the Australian Alex de Minaur, withdrew because of a hip injury.
De Minaur, the ninth seed, sustained the injury on Monday at the end of his victory against the Frenchman Arthur Fils. At the time, he thought he would be fit to play but he lasted less than 10 minutes of a practice session on Wednesday morning and said the risk of further injury was too high.
