Australian Open: Djokovic ends his journey with a loss to Sinner in semi-finals
The top-ranked player made 54 unforced errors and failed to produce a break point during the 22-year-old's incredible performance at the Australian Open in 2024.
The top-ranked Tennis player in the world, Novak Djokovic, defeated French player Lucas Pouille in the quarter-final of the ongoing Cincinnati Masters. Djokovic defeated Pouille 7-6(2), 6-1 in a battle of tennis which lasted for 86 minutes on Friday.
With yet another entry in the semifinals, Djokovic has now made it to the semifinals in five successive tournaments that he has featured in. This will also be his seventh appearance in a semifinal match in this tournament.
A couple of wins would imply that the 32-year-old would be winning his 34th Masters 1000 Trophy, one away from Rafael Nadal’s record of 35.
