Novak Djokovic of Serbia has secured a spot in the Wimbledon semifinals without having to play his quarterfinal match. His opponent, Alex De Minaur, withdrew due to a hip injury sustained during his previous match against Arthur Fils. De Minaur cited a torn cartilage in his hip as the reason for his withdrawal, stating a high risk of exacerbating the injury.

Djokovic, who recently underwent meniscus surgery, will now enjoy three days of rest before facing the winner between Taylor Fritz and Lorenzo Musetti in the semifinals. The defending champion, Carlos Alcaraz, will compete against Daniil Medvedev in the other semifinal match.
