Djokovic against Tsitsipas – LIVE from approx. 7 pm
Tennis star Novak Djokovic can continue to dream of his first Olympic gold medal. The Serb beat the Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas 6:3, 7:6(3) in his quarter-final on Thursday to reach the semi-finals at the Summer Games in Paris.

At 0:3, he received medical assistance and had his right leg treated. Djokovic then even trailed 0:4 before turning the match around.
Here are the statistics for the match:
Olympic gold is the one major title Djokovic still lacks in his collection of successes. Three years ago in Tokyo, he was beaten in the semi-finals by eventual Olympic champion Alexander Zverev. There would have been a rematch in Paris if Zverev had won his match against the Italian Lorenzo Musetti. However, the German lost 5:7, 5:7 and then revealed physical problems.
Now against Musetti
Djokovic will now play Musetti on Friday, as he did in the semi-final at Wimbledon. At the grass court classic in London, Djokovic won the duel before losing out to Carlos Alcaraz in the final. The Spaniard defeated the American Tommy Paul 6:3, 7:6(7) on Thursday and will now face the Canadian Felix Auger-Aliassime, who in turn beat Casper Ruud 6:4, 6:7(8), 6:3.
