Alex de Minaur has withdrawn from Wimbledon due to a hip injury, automatically advancing Novak Djokovic to the semifinals. The injury, specifically a tear in the fiber cartilage near the adductor, is expected to sideline De Minaur for 3-6 weeks. This development casts doubt on his participation in the upcoming Paris Olympics.
De Minaur expressed his disappointment over having to withdraw but stressed that continuing to play would have significantly increased the risk of exacerbating the injury. His focus will now be on recovery to ensure a swift and full return to the court.
