Alexander Zverev advances to the Australian Open Finals!
Zverev on some of the crowd booing Djokovic after retiring from Australian Open 2025.
“Please guys don’t boo a player when he goes out with injury. I know everyone paid for tickets.. but Novak has given everything of his life to the sport the last 20 years”
“I’m just happy to put myself in this position again, to play for a big trophy again,” Sinner told reporters.
“At the end of the day, Grand Slams are the most important tournaments we have in our sport … Finals are a bit different, but very exciting days.
First, he is accused of “faking an injury” for the billionth time. Then, he is booed for retiring mid-match while clearly being in pain and heavily strapped.
All of this at a Grand Slam he has won TEN times.

“When you arrive on Sunday, it doesn’t really matter how big the tournament is, but when you play there’s a nice feeling. Two men standing. You just try to play the best tennis possible.”
From Djokovic’s presser:
– Confirms it’s a muscle tear, much more painful than 2 years ago..
– Says he would have tried to play probably one more set if he had won the 1st..
– Doesn’t confirm he will comeback to the Aus Open, hinting retirement in 2025. “It depends on this season”

“He’s kind of limping around. Then he gets up & does it again. Limping around & sitting down. He’s obviously fine. Just acting like he’s got an injury”
