"I feel really sorry for him and he was the far better player, for sure, I was on my way home tonight. Being [in the] quarters of a grand slam, two sets to love up and being in full control, I mean so unfortunate. I really wish him a speedy recovery and he should have been a winner today, no doubt."
"When you attack him, you don't know what to expect, whether it's going to be a passing shot, cross-court, or short slice or he's going to go full flat in your body or just a looping ball to my weakest shot, which is overhead, I think we've seen that today again. Just wasn't feeling the ball today the first couple [of] sets but that's also due to his quality and his variety. I'm just extremely lucky to get through this today."
Novak Djokovic progressed to the Australian Open semi-finals after Lorenzo Musetti retired with an adductor injury while leading 6-4 6-3 1-3 on Rod Laver Arena. Musetti's variety and control had placed Djokovic under pressure and Djokovic committed 32 unforced errors while struggling to find rhythm. Djokovic expressed sympathy for Musetti and called himself lucky to advance. Djokovic must raise his level to reach the final with two-time defending champion Jannik Sinner awaiting in the semi-finals; Sinner defeated Ben Shelton 6-3 6-4 6-4. Jessica Pegula and Elena Rybakina will meet in the women's semi-finals; Iga Swiatek is out.
