Top-ranked Novak Djokovic regained his cool after throwing his racquet off the court in a gruelling, rain-delayed 4-6 7-5 7-5 quarterfinal victory over Stefanos Tsitsipas at the Italian Open.

Djokovic fought back from breaks of his serve in each of the final two sets to reach his eighth consecutive semifinal at the Foro Italico, where he has lifted the trophy five times, most recently last September when the tournament was moved to later in the year because of the coronavirus pandemic. Djokovic was to take on home favourite Lorenzo Sonego later in the day for a spot in the final. — AP/PTI

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
