from Weekend Sport with Jason Pine · host Newstalk ZB

Controversial scenes last night at Rod Laver arena as Novak Djokovic retired after just the first set in his semifinal against Alexander Zverev, shocking the crowd.   Meanwhile, in the other semifinal Jannik Sinner had little resistance as he cruised to a straight sets win over American Ben Shelton.  Kiwi tennis journalist Dave Worsley was in the crowd, and joined Piney to discuss exactly what happened and what we can expect from the Men's and Women's final.  Worsley told Piney that in the press conference after the match, Djokovic said that maybe he could’ve kept going, but he wouldn’t have lasted that much longer.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
