Tokyo : Novak Djokovic will end the Tokyo 2020 Olympics without a medal, after pulling out of Serbia’s mixed doubles bronze match following his singles defeat to Pablo Carreno Busta.
According to the International Tennis Federation, the world number one withdrew because of a “left shoulder injury”, meaning Nina Stojanovic will be deprived of a chance to win a medal, with bronze going to Australian pair Ashleigh Barty and John Peers courtesy of a walkover.
Djokovic was surprisingly beaten by Alexander Zverev in the singles semi-finals yesterday, ending his chances of winning the Golden Slam of four major titles and Olympic gold in one year, and he then lost out on bronze with a three-set defeat to Carreno Busta.
