After the end of the first set, which Zverev won 7:6 (7:5) after the tie-break, Djokovic approached the net and announced his decision to the German, apparently unable to continue the match due to injury.
The two tennis players played an 81-minute long set that Zverev resolved in his favor after they had previously failed to use eight break points together.

In the end, Djokovic also experienced an inconvenience because a small part of the audience booed him, apparently dissatisfied with the fact that they paid for tickets for only one set.
Djokovic then announced at the press conference that this could be his last Australian Open.
