Novak Djokovic’s quest for a record 25th grand slam title has been cut short at the Australian Open after he stunningly retired from his semifinal match due to a left leg injury.

Novak Djokovic is 37 and was forced to stop playing because of an injury at two of the past four Grand Slam tournaments

Fans loudly booed the former World No.1 when he walked off the court and Nole responded by raising both thumbs in a wry tone. In his press conference, the current world number 7 explained that he had a more serious tear in his adductors than he did two years ago and that he would have risked worsening the situation by continuing to play.
