Djokovic said to the Tennis Channel: “I’m excited to be in another semi-finals. Obviously [De Minaur's injury is] not great for the tournament. It’s never great to go through with a withdrawal of a player. “I wish Alex the best in terms of recovery. I hope he can come back to the court. We saw that in the last point actually he injured himself. "I was watching the replay of that point of his last match to try and understand where he injured himself. Some people were guessing whether it was an ankle, or hip or knee. I think in the end it was a hip. "It’s terrible. The biggest enemy of an athlete is injury. I wish him a speedy recovery. He was playing in red-hot form. It would’ve been a really tough match for both of us if we were playing today but it is what it is. I’m moving on to the semis."
