    Aus Open: Novak Djokovic's bid for the record 11th Australian Open took a major blow as the Serbian great retired with injury following a first set of the semifinal against Alexander Zverev on Friday.

    After losing the first set in 81 minutes, Djokovic retired when Zverev was leading the match 7-6(5). Djokovic sent the ball into the net to give up the mini-break and lost the first set in a tiebreak. Immediately after he lost a 7-6(5) opening set, Djokovic shook the hand of the No. 2, sending the German through to the final.

    Through his third major final, Zverev awaits defending champion Jannik Sinner or home favourite Alex de Minaur. The German will play his first Australian Open final on Sunday.
