De Minaur withdrawal hands Djokovic another Wimbledon semi-final spot
ALEX DE MINAUR was forced to withdraw from Wimbledon today before his quarter-final with Novak Djokovic due to a hip injury.
De Minaur sustained the issue at the end of his fourth-round victory over Arthur Fils on Monday.
The ninth seed played down the scare despite an initial shake of the head in the direction of his box on Court One, but shortly after midday before his scheduled Centre Court clash with Djokovic, De Minaur pulled out of the Championships.
