De Minaur was scheduled to face Novak Djokovic on Centre Court on Wednesday.
Alex De Minaur has been forced to withdraw from Wimbledon ahead of his quarter-final with Novak Djokovic due to a hip injury.
De Minaur, the boyfriend of British number one Katie Boulter, sustained the issue at the end of his fourth-round victory over Arthur Fils on Monday. The ninth seed played down the scare despite an initial shake of the head in the direction of his box on Court One, but shortly after midday on the day of his scheduled Centre Court clash with Djokovic, De Minaur pulled out of the Championships.“Obviously not an announcement I wanted to make by any means,” De Minaur said at a press conference on Wednesday afternoon.“I felt a loud crack during the last three points of my match against Fils and got a scan yesterday.
“The problem with me going out and playing is one stretch, one slide, one anything can make this injury go from three-to-six weeks to four months.”We want our comments to be a lively and valuable part of our community - a place where readers can debate and engage with the most important local issues.
