WIMBLEDON, England — Novak Djokovic canceled his afternoon apply session at Wimbledon on Thursday, a day after the seven-time champion had a “nasty” fall moments earlier than clinching his quarterfinal victory.
The 38-year-old Djokovic, who faces No. 1 Jannik Sinner within the semifinals on Friday, slid and fell on his second match level in opposition to No. 22 seed Flavio Cobolli. He then received the following two factors to advance.
The 24-time Grand Slam champion’s apply session at Wimbledon’s Aorangi Park had been scheduled for 1-3 p.m. The All England Membership confirmed that the session was canceled.
Djokovic has the choice to reschedule apply time later.
Sinner had equally canceled his personal apply session a day after hurting his proper elbow throughout his fourth-round victory over Grigor Dimitrov. Then he went out and beat No. 10 Ben Shelton in straight units on Wednesday.
Djokovic described his tumble as “a nasty fall. It was very awkward.”
“Clearly, [my] physique shouldn’t be the identical right now prefer it was earlier than, so I assume the true impression or impact of what occurred I’ll really feel tomorrow,” he stated at Wednesday’s information convention. “So let’s have a look at. I am hoping the following 24, 48 hours that the severity of what was taking place on the courtroom and what occurred shouldn’t be too dangerous, that I will be capable to play at my greatest and freed from ache in two days.”
