PARIS - Serbia's Novak Djokovic is through to the semi-finals of the men's tennis singles event at the Olympic Games in Paris after beating Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas 6-3, 7-6 (7-3) on Thursday evening.

Due to problems with a knee injury, Djokovic was forced to seek medical assistance between Game 3 and Game 4 of the second set but went on to win the match in a tie break after a total of two hours and two minutes of play.

He will next face Italian Lorenzo Musetti, who beat defending Olympic champion Alexander Zverev of Germany earlier in the day.Service Photo Gallery
