Australian Open: Djokovic faces Zverev semi-final test in pursuit of 25th Slam title

Deccan Chronicle  

Melbourne: Novak Djokovic throws his ailing 37-year-old body into an Australian Open semi-final against Alexander Zverev on Friday while defending champion Jannik Sinner faces Ben Shelton. Djokovic and German world number two Zverev are first up at 2:30 pm on Rod Laver Arena as the Serbian great closes in on a record 25th Grand Slam title. Last year at the same stage he crashed to Daniil Medvedev in five sets after holding a 2-0 lead and is understandably wary of Djokovic, even if he is carrying an injury. Sinner strong favourite Italian world number one Sinner goes into his clash as hot favourite after a commanding straight-sets win over Alex de Minaur in the quarter-finals.
