Novak Djokovic advanced to the semifinals without playing after his quarterfinal opponent, Alex De Minaur, withdrew due to a hip injury sustained in a previous match.
This development was met with disappointment and sympathy for De Minaur, who missed a significant opportunity against a seven-time Wimbledon champion.
Djokovic’s path to the semifinals was notably easier due to this withdrawal, sparking discussions about the luck of his draw and the challenges faced by players due to injuries and weather conditions at the tournament.
