Alexander Zverev has doubled-down on his support for close friend Novak Djokovic following his decision to retire from their Australian Open semi-final today.
The US twins were too good, but both Klugman and Jones said they enjoyed playing together after also being two of the top seeds in the girls’ singles.Advertisement Novak Djokovic had plenty of support on Rod Laver Arena, as this picture shows, but some fans booed when he retired.“I don’t know if I’ll recover for Doha . I’ve torn a muscle, it could heal quickly, but it may not, we’ll see,” he said.
“I’m happy on one side to be in the final of the Australian Open, I’m in the final of a grand slam, but on the other hand, I am being 100 per cent honest, there’s no guy on the tour that I respect more than Novak.
