Alex de Minaur, Australia's top tennis player, had to withdraw from Wimbledon due to a hip injury, ending his dream of facing Novak Djokovic in the quarter-finals. The injury, described as a 'little tear of the fibre cartilage,' may keep him out for three to six weeks, potentially jeopardizing his participation in the upcoming Paris Olympics. De Minaur's withdrawal gave Djokovic a clear path to the semi-finals, where he will meet Taylor Fritz or Lorenzo Musetti. This unfortunate development marks another setback for de Minaur, who missed the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 due to COVID-19.
