Novak Djokovic suffered a frustrating fitness saga as a wrist problem led to the Serb’s upset 6-4, 6-4 loss to Australia’s Alex de Minaur in the quarter-finals of the United Cup in Perth on Wednesday.
Djokovic, who received multiple massages on court on his troublesome right wrist—hurt in training 24 hours earlier—fell victim to an inspired de Minaur, who led his side into the weekend semi-finals in Sydney. Ajla Tomljanovic then sealed the 2-0 win for the team with her 6-1, 6-1 defeat of Serb 184th-ranked substitute Natalija Stevanovic. Stevanovic had replaced an exhausted Olga Danilovic, who featured in previous ties here alongside Djokovic.
