Djokovic gets free pass to semifinal

LONDON — Novak Djokovic progressed to a record-equaling 13th Wimbledon semifinal without hitting a ball on Wednesday (Thursday in Manila) after Alex de Minaur pulled out injured as former champion Elena Rybakina eased through.

Australian ninth seed de Minaur, 25, announced shortly after midday at the All England Club that he was 'devastated to pull out due to a hip injury.'
