Djokovic Beats Tsitsipas: Semis Bracket After 2024 Olympic Men's Tennis QF Results

Not even an injury to his recently repaired right knee could stop Novak Djokovic from his career-long quest.

Despite needing a medical timeout in the second set, the top-seeded Serbian defeated Stefanos Tstsipas in straight sets to reach the Olympic semifinals.

Djokovic, who is presumably competing in his last Olympic games, has never won gold or reached an Olympic final.

Here is what the bracket looks like, with Djokovic booking his spot in the semifinals.

Novak Djokovic defeated Stefanos Tsitsipas in straight sets to reach the semifinal round.

While the Greek controlled the pace early and excelled with his one-handed backhand, the 24-time Grand Slam champion reinforced the notion that even at 37 years old, he will not back away from the most physical moments.

Although the Serbian needed a medical timeout in the second set, he still found a way to survive and advance.

While Djokovic has not won a grand slam this year, he has historically dominated his semifinal opponent, Lorenzo Musetti, and is expected to do so again, reaching his first Olympic final.
