Terrible reaction from the Australian crowd, I gotta say. Djokovic is probably the fiercest competitor in tennis history and would never give up a tennis match of such importance if it weren't serious. Huge probs to Zverev for standing up for Djokovic at the post match interview though, what a class act.
You should not blame the Australian crowd as a WHOLE. Djokovic got a standing ovation by the majority of the spectators. The "bo'ers" were a minority, though their behaviour is of course a scandal.
Only respect for him. He tried and fought the first set. And when he realizes he could not play the whole match, he retired. No complaining no BS show. That is how a champion handles that situation. A pro like him knows when he has to stop.
Australian crowd is a joke, that's not how you treat a 10x Champ.....Very, very sad what you did to a man who dedicated his life to the sport. Salute to Zverev, classy post-match interview. Hope he wins it.
@ have you really been following his career? followed what he said throughout his career, his statements about others, about himself, ... do your research
Pretty sure if the game went on it wouldn't have been neck to neck anymore. Still, well fought for the first set, but I was pretty confident Sascha was gonna win.
@@yybg8 Muscle tears have various gradings, he likely has a small tear he doesn't want to risk growing. If it grows it will require surgery and will be more susceptible to further tears in the future.
@@shahedulislam94 He didn't have shit. If he won the 1st set he'd forget about his "injury" until the next moment when he would start losing. It's simple, he lost the 1st set after 1:20h, and decided that he can't keep running for another 3-4h against Zverev. There was no winning position for him anymore.
That was nowhere near Djokovic's highest level. He's been playing sub-par all tournament and is still comfortably beating these guys. Zverev had no chance if he met him in round 3/4 or even the quarters. All he had to do was keep up with an injured (in the realms of an athlete) old man.
I think Djokovic had planned to play 3 sets and knew he couldn't continue beyond that. It’s possible that he realized pushing further would only increase the risk of a more serious injury.
That's not how it works mate, especially with these athletes, It might work like that for you and me but not for them. If he stepped on the court he was ready to give his 100 percent everything to win that match. He wouldn't come just to participate. And If he couldn't play beyond the first then the pain was probably serious and It was a huge risk so we shouldn't criticize his judgement
Зачем...чтобы потом опять сниматься во время игры...лучше сиди дома чемпион...а ещё лучше вали на пенсию всё равно больше шлема ему не видать...молодняк не даст!
@alexcooper3007 Yes and for me there is no reason for him to continue playing. He has nothing to prove. He is without doubt the best player in the world.
For an ambitious person, it's actually much harder decision to quit a match in order to continue playing in the futuren than going all out. One of many prudent choices by Djokovic which enables him to stay on top for so long a time. Remember, he is 38 in May, any serious injury and he might be out of the game for months, maybe a season. Then getting in shape and staying competitive with so many young athletes around is extremely difficult.
It feels like the reaction of the crowd was as if they felt disappointed to be left out of watching the rest of such a great and competitive game. Wouldn't really assume they'd disrespect Djokovic like that
I'm happy for Sascha, even if most people didn't I was still thinking he was the favourite in this semi-final. He's grown strong, especially in the last year, even tho he still seems very beatable when it comes to net play. Kinda disappointed in Nole, all this hype and this "he's never finished" stuff, and then he ends up retiring after losing the first set... whatever, he still had a great run, but you saw him playing on the edge in this match, and he prolly had less and less chances the more the game went on. Congrats Sascha, but sorry if I'll be rooting for Jannik in the finals 🥳
He has retired before in AO2009 and also retired several other matches for apparently no obvious to the crowd reason. They say when Djokovic thinks he'll lose because he had no energy he would retire, like in his younger years.
Its terribly unlucky for Dokovic to get injured, and for us not to see the full match because the level of tennis they played was awesome. The reaction from the australian crowd is disgusting and shameful...really sad to see this kind of thing happening...
we have the weakest era of tennis ever where a dopper is nr 1 and a 37 years old man beats as much as he wants top 2 guys younger than him with 15 years . that s why djokovic still plays because he had his best results now when the real competition retired from tennis . no more federer djokovic thiem del potro murray etc. more of his 50% gs wins are from the last 3 years of career
@@TheGraemi the alcaraz problem and sinner problem is that their real level is not of 1 or 2 . their level is of 9-10 player of the world in 2010’s . that s why even a 60% djokovic still own them
It fills me with absolute sadness the (prolly) farewelll the djokovic, the tennis player GOAT statistically and even better person, with a whistle from the crowd, the same one who saw him win 10 grand slams that helped him forge his legend and transcendence, from a Rafa fan.
People, chill out about the crowd ffs, they bought super expensive tickets and came all the way to watch a full SF tennis match, wouldn't you be disappointed? Pretty sure for the vast majority of them it's nothing personal against Djokovic.
Probably he try to win second but if muscle is tear up i don't believe he could won second . Then start from zero . On cruel sun . He probably lost in this conditions 1-3 or 2-3 , maybe he purposly screw that easy volley shot in the end ? Think his goal is to try to be health much he could in 2025 . Saves himself from pain . He is smart .
People who demand refunds are really getting on my nerves. They lack any empathy, and they remind me of those who complained when Messi couldn’t play in a friendly match in Hong Kong. Wish all the best to Djokovic and hoping he comes back stronger.
Djokovic just missed a volley, a club or good county player, would have made, maybe Murray needs to teach Bore-ovic how to volley at the net- on a tie-break at 5-6.
Time waits for no one, even a great player like Djokovic. He'll be remembered for all his achievements, but in every conversation he'll always be remembered as the one of the big three that wasn't liked as well as Nadal and Federer, and people will remember those two much more fondly.
Novak immenso. Si e' reso conto di non poter vincere la partita oggi. Il primo set e' durato 1:20 minuti. Tantissimi per un singolo set. Se avesse provato a proseguire, ammesso che il dolore non fosse cosi' forte, avrebbe sicuramente aggravato la situazione, rischiando uno stop di mesi.
djokovic is a mental player too. if djokovic had lost this match without giving up early, people wouldnt respect him as much as he did now. he fools us.
It's like the boy who cried wolf. If a player takes tactical medical time outs he loses credibility. But I don't think he faked this. He is far too competitive to give up.
It's literally unbelievable..I wonder if all these negative hateful people are even real.. or just bots? Like they would never say this stuff to people's faces in real life.. they just use the Internet to vent all their sadness and hate.
I think that Nole is really a great champion, you have to here what he said talking whit Zvere, durino the match, and you understand that he is a great campionato, real a lord.
Zverev deserved an easy win today, he was super unlucky against Nadal in 2022 with his injury so deserves to have a lucky semis. Djokovic knew Zverev was ready to go to war today. I'm routing for him in the final but will be surprised if he can beat Sinner (if he wins his Semi...)!!
My god,the crowd reaction was bad,but this is the fakest injury i have seen in ny life.If he won the forst set he will play for sure, he was just tired,for sure with some Pain, and dont want to spend 3 more hours on court.
i think DJ didn't want this match at all. It was nice from him to play a little bit for his crowd. His only chance is to win most matches in 3 sets like before
I don't know if he will ever read this comment, but I want to apologise to Djokovic for suspecting him faking his injury. It is competition and sometimes the emotions after loss are too much to handle, so one can say or do things usually he does not say or do. I was wrong and I am sorry for blaming a man who has done nothing wrong this time. I hope Djokovic recovers well and I wish him and his family well. Health and family are some of the most important things in life. I wish to see more matches between Djokovic and Alcaraz, because they produce great contests. All the best, Nole! You are a man of faith, man of family, and regardless how salty I feel for beating my favourite players Roger and Carlos 😂, I respect you very much! My issue is with your fans, who much too often show disrespect to other great players. I am all for respect. Shame on the AO crowd for booing you or any other injured player.
Only Djoker can decide over this break up. Now one can judge. For Zverev it’s another big chance for big title, but isn’t it? I have my doubts if he play this way against Sinner. But I want Zverev to make me a happy liar! 🙏👍
Year after year the Australian crowd proves itself to be some of the worst tennis has to offer. Awful disrespectful behaviour from all these children...
Watching how the players have to slide their legs so far apart so quickly to get to all these incredible corner shots, I’m wondering if Nole should add ballet training to his schedule, which could help him as a last resort. Rugby players in England do ballet core training for extra strength and flexibility. I think it would be better than his yoga. I started ballet at 55 8 years ago. Now I’m stronger than I ever thought possible. Ballet is the most athletic sport on the planet snd works both left right brain. That’s my advice!
i feel the reason people got mad it's becuse felt like a ragequit. not really a injury quit. he got tilted over this very disputed set and just said "fuck it i'm out" which i'm sure it's not but felt like it
Djokovic, you were a great player and we will miss your antics, your tenacity, and tennis definitely needs players like you, controversial, outspoken and not bland like a certain Italian carrot ..but please retire now man.. retiring from a slam semi-final at the end of the first set is just such a kick in the balls to all the tennis fans who were hoping to see a great match, not to mention the people who paid good money to be at Rod Laver arena (or wherever that match was played) today/yesterday. Time to let the younger generation guys battle it out amongst themselves
I love Nole but this was a terrible shock to the crowd who had just settled in for a great match. Other than that, the crowd have been awful this tournament.
Maybe it's the case that most people have started to learn that injuries should be faked but still win? If you are injured, you step off or you lose. Fakeovic has been dealing with this bad behavior since day one of the tour.
The match against alcaraz was very Tough. He is 37 and the oppenents are every round difficult in the end fases. If he wins one gs this year he has a good year.
@@josephvaes6987 Wimbledon? Alcaraz will deal with him there, I doubt he'll make the finals, soon he'll be 40, only Federer managed to almost beat Novak at 38 virtually, Novak can't do it, sorry, but only if Alcaraz and Sinner retire from Wimdoledon.
Wow. Booing a player for getting injured. I knew the Aussie crowd were the worst of the lot but this has confirmed what a bunch of classless plebs they really are. I don't know why Novak bothers playing there, they don't deserve him.
When you see that even zverev was caught off guard and shocked that the guy quits after losing the 1st set... you can't expect the crowd to feel any different. Djoko would have kept playing had he not lost the first set... and that's not a noble thing to do. Keep playing til you can't. You don't give up cause you realize you don't have a chance. And ppl saying he's injured... sorry but get your eyesight checked... the guy moved better than 20 year old players. All in all, good luck to Novak.
Good reaction from Australian crowd 👏👏👏after years of easy draws, this year Novak had to face couple of top opponents and as predicted, he lost 😠he needs to retire for good,he’s still playing because he hopes to get easy draws in grand slams so he can extend his record
Se sai che non puoi rendere il tuo gioco non dico miglior gioco e'giusto si sia ritirato, direi ovvio questa e'una semifinale se non sei te stesso, unica cosa se proprio scusarsi col pubblico spiegando il perché, attraverso il microfono Dell arbitro. Comunque grandissimo atleta e campione
Так и знал что этим всё и закончится только думал что победит зверя а с финала снимется (всё равно ему Синнера не обыграть, а с травмой тем более) снова зверю подарил победу так же как в полу РГ...лучше бы ты проиграл и мы бы увидели супер полуфинал Карлос зверюга...продолжение прошлогоднего 1/4 который до сих пор не забуду...а вместо этого сидим и ждём второй полу где Янник будет издеваться над кудряшкой Сью...жаль!
100% согласен с каждым словом! Карлос психологически не может эту линию с Джоковичем перейти. Но больше всего радует, что русские все вылетели в начале, без них сразу дышать стало лучше
Disgusting crowd reaction! Novak is the greatest player of all time, the fiercest competitor the world has ever seen. A 10 TIMES champion here and you boo him.. You boo him after beating 21 year old beast in Alcaraz on one leg to entertain you guys.. Respect is unknown word for Australians.
Said this would be Novak's last year of pro tennis,,, he's limping,, i for one don't want to see him crawling over the finish line like Murray and Rafa did....
I am Sorry for Nole, and for the people Who paid a huge amount of Money for the ticket lol . But this Is tennis. I don't talk about the Crowd like If It was one unique entity because you never have to generalize. Pretty sure there were Also nice people in the audience, it's for them that i'm sorry
Who knows with Novak. He's been doing fake injuries since his first Aus Open in the late noughties - and has done plenty to mean people automatically assume he's cheating. So, when he is actually injured, it's a cry wolf situation...

I like this comment! Finally someone who recognises the carrot top for the bland bore that he is. And Sinner is a bit shifty too?
Novak with all that faked injuries this years now he finally got to feel the real injury .
Extremely disappointing waking up to this news. I'm a Carlos fan but I was hoping for Novak to win this Slam and have a great season
I love this crowd. You reap what you sow, Novak
We all knew that was going to happen.. at least the ones who understand a bit about tennis.
Can u I imagine if Djokovic some how won this match and then had to retire in the Final?
One of the commentators called it "Shame" ... But he saved his body from hurting the more, Djokovic still remains the greatest sportsman of all time.
Novak risked his career and his life for his principles and you say he faked an injury!!! It' s about YOU not him!!!
I guess Zverev was not as pitiful as Alcaraz and made sure Djokovic's injury would not get in the way.
GOAT still GOAT ... soon i will read his book ......................... #Nadalista
I love Nole but this was a terrible shock to the crowd who had just settled in for a great match. Other than that, the crowd have been awful this tournament.
it's a shame to behave like that towards such a champion of this tournament
Pity we could have seen Alcaraz vs Zverev semis. Alcaraz got only himself to blame.
Alcaraz is only 21- he'll be back at the French Open, where he is favourite there, clay is his strong surface, no more Mr Crampitos.
Maybe it's the case that most people have started to learn that injuries should be faked but still win? If you are injured, you step off or you lose. Fakeovic has been dealing with this bad behavior since day one of the tour.
when nadal talked about injuries even when he won, nobody criticizes him
The match against alcaraz was very Tough. He is 37 and the oppenents are every round difficult in the end fases. If he wins one gs this year he has a good year.
No more GS for Nole, it's over- French Open he'll be 38, and Alcaraz would be waiting in the showers for him.
@pauljohnson6019 maybe Wimbledon or us open he will not be 80 in couple of months 😅
@@josephvaes6987 Wimbledon? Alcaraz will deal with him there, I doubt he'll make the finals, soon he'll be 40, only Federer managed to almost beat Novak at 38 virtually, Novak can't do it, sorry, but only if Alcaraz and Sinner retire from Wimdoledon.
@@pauljohnson6019😂😂 djokovic trooled alcaraz few days ago
Alcaraz y sinner 💪💪💪
Wow. Booing a player for getting injured. I knew the Aussie crowd were the worst of the lot but this has confirmed what a bunch of classless plebs they really are. I don't know why Novak bothers playing there, they don't deserve him.
ZVEREV WILL CHALLENGE ALCARAZ FOR NUMBER 1 SPOT HE IS FAST BECOMING A BRILLIANT TENNIS 🎾 PLAYER FROM DAVID IN ENGLAND ⭐⭐
The fans paid A LOT of money for their tickets,, i can understand their frustration,, credit tho to Zverev for speaking up 👍
Should have put Murray in there- as a substitute- he would have at least put up a good fight, even if he lost in straights.
So "how about that" from Collins was truly perfect, the Australian crowd deserved that after Djokovic - Zverev.
When you see that even zverev was caught off guard and shocked that the guy quits after losing the 1st set... you can't expect the crowd to feel any different. Djoko would have kept playing had he not lost the first set... and that's not a noble thing to do. Keep playing til you can't. You don't give up cause you realize you don't have a chance. And ppl saying he's injured... sorry but get your eyesight checked... the guy moved better than 20 year old players.
All in all, good luck to Novak.
Good reaction from Australian crowd 👏👏👏after years of easy draws, this year Novak had to face couple of top opponents and as predicted, he lost 😠he needs to retire for good,he’s still playing because he hopes to get easy draws in grand slams so he can extend his record
Australian crowd is made of absolute clowns. Novak has achieved more than all these fools combined.
Ноле најбољи си свих времена 💪💪💪
I can understand the dissapointment paying $1000 for a ticket and then getting 40 mins of tennis. Lol
We Gonna To See The Best Final This Year In Melbourne
3-0 Sinner
Se sai che non puoi rendere il tuo gioco non dico miglior gioco e'giusto si sia ritirato, direi ovvio questa e'una semifinale se non sei te stesso, unica cosa se proprio scusarsi col pubblico spiegando il perché, attraverso il microfono Dell arbitro. Comunque grandissimo atleta e campione
Jajajajajaaa cuanto me alegro🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Так и знал что этим всё и закончится только думал что победит зверя а с финала снимется (всё равно ему Синнера не обыграть, а с травмой тем более) снова зверю подарил победу так же как в полу РГ...лучше бы ты проиграл и мы бы увидели супер полуфинал Карлос зверюга...продолжение прошлогоднего 1/4 который до сих пор не забуду...а вместо этого сидим и ждём второй полу где Янник будет издеваться над кудряшкой Сью...жаль!
100% согласен с каждым словом! Карлос психологически не может эту линию с Джоковичем перейти. Но больше всего радует, что русские все вылетели в начале, без них сразу дышать стало лучше
This crowd has a tendency to overeact inappropriately.
If you have spent the best psrt of 20 yrs doing the splits on tennis courts something's gonna snap ,,, ooh ouch !
Disgusting crowd reaction! Novak is the greatest player of all time, the fiercest competitor the world has ever seen. A 10 TIMES champion here and you boo him.. You boo him after beating 21 year old beast in Alcaraz on one leg to entertain you guys.. Respect is unknown word for Australians.
Said this would be Novak's last year of pro tennis,,, he's limping,, i for one don't want to see him crawling over the finish line like Murray and Rafa did....
Booing ? 😮 Where is their tennis brain? Novak never retires lightly. What’s he supposed to do? Carry on and damage his body ?
'Novak never retires lightly.' Um, you're very young, aren't you?
I am Sorry for Nole, and for the people Who paid a huge amount of Money for the ticket lol . But this Is tennis. I don't talk about the Crowd like If It was one unique entity because you never have to generalize. Pretty sure there were Also nice people in the audience, it's for them that i'm sorry
Just one word: “skiing”.
If it wasnt serious he wouldnt have retired. He knows his time is nearing the end and his physical condition isnt in his prime
Who knows with Novak. He's been doing fake injuries since his first Aus Open in the late noughties - and has done plenty to mean people automatically assume he's cheating. So, when he is actually injured, it's a cry wolf situation...
Novak is ridiculous he always complains when he fails
Djoker can't even get respect from the place where he won x10 times. Tells a lot.
Absolutely
His body language is terrible, sometimes his reactions looks like psychopathic. I have these feelings watching him over these years.
Hé oui ! Battre Alcaraz dans un match fou de 3h37min ça laisse des dégâts !
To good from zverev, it will be aclose final between him and either Shelton or Sinner
The only way Zverev can win a slam is by not facing a top 10 player or getting walkovers.
