Novak Djokovic knows all too well the mountain he must scale to capture an elusive record 25th Grand Slam crown, but the Serbian great is not ready to “walk out with a white flag” just yet. 

The 38-year-old was gifted passage into an Australian Open semi-final showdown with Jannik Sinner after Lorenzo Musetti retired hurt when in complete control of their last-eight clash, 6-4, 6-3, 1-3.


Djokovic was crushed by Sinner in last year’s French Open and Wimbledon semi-finals, but remains optimistic he can still pull off an upset. 



“I’m creating my own history and I think I’ve been very clear when I say what my intention is in terms of achievements and objectives and results. Are they [Sinner and Alcaraz] better right now than me and all the other guys? Yes, they are. I mean, the quality and the level is amazing. But does that mean that I walk out with a white flag? No. I’m going to fight until the last shot, until the last point, and do my very best to challenge them,” said a determined Djokovic, who is a ten-time winner in Melbourne.
