Novak Djokovic progressed to a record-equalling 13th Wimbledon semifinal without hitting a ball yesterday after Alex de Minaur pulled out injured as former champion Elena Rybakina eased through.
Australian ninth seed De Minaur, 25, announced shortly after midday at the All England Club that he was "devastated to pull out due to a hip injury".
It means Djokovic has now equalled Roger Federer's men's record of 13 semifinal appearances at Wimbledon as he closes on the Swiss great's mark of eight singles titles.
The 37-year-old Serbian is also through to a record-extending 49th men's Grand Slam semifinal.
