After a clearly-compromised Novak Djokovic bowed out in straight sets to world No. 1 Jannik Sinner in the semifinal at Wimbledon, the 24-time major winner, in what some wondered was his final walk off Center Court, paused and waved to all sections of the crowd before heading off the grass court he had for years dominated.
Djokovic, who had taken an awkward fall at the end of his quarterfinal victory over Flavio Cobolli, was feeling the effects of the injury throughout the match against the superb Sinner, as the Serbian frequently looked uncomfortable moving on the baseline and had to be treated by the trainer two sets into the match.
