MELBOURNE (Reuters) - A stunned Novak Djokovic said his performance in the loss to Jannik Sinner in Friday's Australian Open semi-final was one of the worst he had produced in more than 400 Grand Slam matches.

The 24-times Grand Slam champion said he still had high hopes of more success over the rest of the season and warned off pundits who might be tempted to call time on his glorious career.
