While Australian maverick Nick Kyrgios is enjoying a day off after Rafael Nadal’s retirement, Novak Djokovic will try to continue his masterpiece at Wimbledon against Britain’s No. 1 Cameron Norrie in the lone men’s semi-final on Friday.
Kyrgios, 27, will have four days off before playing his first grand final against Djokovic or Norrie after his semi-final rival Nadal was forced to retire on Thursday due to an abdominal injury.
Djokovic, a 20-time big winner, has not lost a competition on the All England Club’s well-kept turf since retiring midway through an injury in the 2017 quarter-finals against Czech Tomas Berdych.
