"You know, we both are disappointed with what just happened, so we didn't talk about the future steps. We are so fresh off the court."

"You know, give him my feedback, which is, of course, positive, and see how he feels, and we take the next step.

Djokovic had sustained a muscular injury during his quarter-final win against Carlos Alcaraz earlier in the week and had appeared on Rod Laver Arena for the semi-final with heavy strapping around his left leg.

After a first set that was won by Zverev 7-6 (7-5) in 81 minutes, Djokovic walked up to his opponent and shook his hand before confirming his withdrawal from the game.바카라 웹사이트바카라 웹사이트
