US OPEN 2011: Novak Djokovic walks into semifinals after Janko Tipsarevic retires

Thursday, September 8, 2011

 

Novak Djokovic and fellow Serb Janko Tipsarevic started off their quarterfinal match with physical play, splitting a set a piece, both of which went to tie-breaks. But after the world No. 1 won the third set 6-0 and then took a 3-0 lead in the fourth set, Tipsarevic retired due to an injury in his leg. With the 7-6(2), 6-7(4), 6-0, 3-0 win, Djokovic earns a berth into the semifinals.

Djokovic will play the winner of tonight’s Roger Federer versus Jo-Wilifried Tsonga fourth round match in the semifinals.
