It looked like it was all over for Novak Djokovic as he was two sets down to Lorenzo Musetti and then the unthinkable happened…
Musetti seemingly out of nowhere walked up to the net and conceded the game to the elder statesman. It’s the second walkover that Djokovic has enjoyed this tournament after Jakub Menšík in the fourth round. Someone up there is looking after the Serb.
Regardless, this means the world number four will play the world number two: Jannik Sinner. The Italian breezed through his quarter-final against American Ben Shelton, not an embarrassment on behalf of the world number eight but three straight sets nevertheless.
This means it’ll be the first time for over 10 years that the top four seeds for the Australian Open will all be present in the semi-finals, with Alcaraz and Zverev rounding out the other semi-final also on Friday 30 January.
So, when it comes to Djokovic vs Sinner’s semi-final – a match which may be an embarrassment looking at the young Italian’s form and considering the Serb said “I was on my way home” after failing to bring it in his quarter-finals – how do you watch it?
Well, here’s how to capture every moment of the semi-final drama from anywhere, including worldwide TV channels, broadcasters and any free live streams below.
