Serbia's Novak Djokovic will lock horns with Italy's Lorenzo Musetti in the semifinals of the Paris Olympics on Friday, August 2. The 24-time Major champion beat Stefanos Tsitsipas 6-3, 7-6 (3) to reach the semifinals. However, it was deja vu for him during the match.
Djokovic appears to have injured his right knee once more after sustaining the same injury on this very court at the French Open a couple of months ago. While he pulled out of the tournament back then, he's in the mood to give it a go this time since he's playing for his country.
Musetti got the better of defending champion Alexander Zverev in the quarterfinals, beating him 7-5, 7-5. The young Italian has been in the form of his life and will look to beat his decorated rival for an assured medal at the Games.
Djokovic has never reached the gold medal play-off match before. The pressure of playing for Serbia has bogged him down time and time again. However, he leads Musetti 6-1 in the head-to-head and recently defeated him in the Wimbledon semifinals. If he's not too injured, then he will be favored to win yet again.
The two have played out some memorable matches in the past, and the Olympic atmosphere means another classic could be on the cards. With that in mind, here are all the details about their upcoming battle:
