After losing in the Australian Open semi-finals, the wait goes on for Novak Djokovic to claim an elusive 25th Grand Slam title with injury hampering his progress in Melbourne.
John McEnroe felt Djokovic was milking his injury during a quarter-final victory over Carlos Alcaraz. However, those claims looked foolish when the Serb retired after one set of his semi-final against Alexander Zverev.
Djokovic hasn’t won a major since he lifted the US Open title for the fourth time in 2023. Last year he did complete tennis by winning the Olympic gold medal but at 37-years-old he will be desperate to get to Grand Slam title number 25.
Despite his career now reaching the twilight zone, he remains the one legendary figure currently playing on the ATP Tour, with Andy Murray and Rafael Nadal waving goodbye to professional tennis last year.
