After Novak Djokovic’s immigration troubles, he is gone, but don’t worry: Plenty of other stars and story lines are ready for the spotlight.

The 20-time Grand Slam tournament champion has cut himself, and even his rival, Novak Djokovic, some slack. “I want to be back on the tour, even if the preparation is not fantastic,” he said.

After dropping the first set, the world No. 1 smoothly beat sixth-seeded Matteo Berrettini, 5-7, 6-2, 6-2, 6-3, to advance to the semifinals against Alexander Zverev.

The 18-year-old from Britain was one set away from becoming the first qualifier to win a grand slam singles title.

Djokovic was one set away from failing in his quest to capture the men’s Grand Slam.

After losing to Jannik Sinner, Zverev said he “shouldn’t have played” and had a fever and difficulty breathing. Tournament officials said Zverev did not report his symptoms before the match.
