Novak Djokovic is out of the Australian Open in stunning fashion. The 24-time slam champion medically retired immediately after dropping the first set of his semifinal match against No. 2 Alexander Zverev in a tiebreak 7-6 (5).

An injured Novak Djokovic quit because of a torn muscle in his left leg after dropping the first set of his Australian Open semifinal against Alexander Zverev on Friday. Djokovic lost the opener 7-6 (5) in a tiebreaker and immediately walked around the net to concede the match to Zverev.

For Djokovic, the withdrawal means that he won't win his record 25th major title and 11th Australian Open. Injuries have prevented him from finishing two of his past four Grand Slam tournaments. He withdrew from last year's French Open before the quarterfinals due to a torn meniscus in his right knee.
