Alex de Minaur Withdraws from Wimbledon Quarterfinal Against Djokovic Due to Hip Injury
Rising Australian Star Forced to Step Away After Suffering Injury in Previous Match
De Minaur was set to face the world number one in a highly anticipated clash at the All England Club, but his hopes were dashed due to a hip injury sustained during his round-of-16 match against Arthur Fils of France.
The news of De Minaur's withdrawal came as a shock to fans and experts alike, as the 23-year-old had been in impressive form throughout the tournament. He had reached the quarterfinals after a series of hard-fought victories, including a five-set thriller against Sebastian Korda in the fourth round.
It is believed that De Minaur sustained the injury during a serve towards the end of the match against Fils. Although he managed to finish the point and win the match, the pain intensified in the following days, forcing him to withdraw from the tournament.
De Minaur's withdrawal is a significant blow to the Australian contingent at Wimbledon. He was the last remaining representative from Australia in the men's singles draw, and his absence will leave a big void in the tournament.
The news of De Minaur's injury will also come as a disappointment to Novak Djokovic. The Serbian star was looking forward to the challenge of facing the rising Australian on the grass courts of Wimbledon.
