The former world number one fell short in his quest for a record-extending 11th Australian Open title after pulling up injured in his semi-final against Alexander Zverev.

Novak, who got caught in controversy with Channel 9 due to potential offensive remarks against Serbs, has in recent years had a complicated relationship with some Australian fans, potentially due to his thoughts and beliefs in regard to Covid.

Love him or loathe him for his stance on the vaccine, and don’t punish one of the Fantastic Four or one of The GOATs. When Novak eventually decides to pack it in, he will be missed.

Alexander Zverev will face Janik Sinner in the final; it should be a good one!
