Novak Djokovic will go to the Games in search of the Golden Slam

World tennis number one Novak Djokovic to participate in the Tokyo Olympics that will be played from July 23 to August 8, announced today the Serbian sports daily Sportski zurnal.

According to the newspaper, which cites sources from the National Tennis Association (TSS), “Novak has confirmed his desire to perform at the Olympic Games” and his name appears on the list of participants that that organization has sent to the Serbian Olympic Committee.

Sportski zurnal recalls that Djokovic in the past mentioned his desire to win Olympic gold in his career, a milestone in his track record that he has yet to achieve, although he won the bronze medal in Beijing in 2008.

The great rival of Djokovic and current world number three, Rafael Nadal, has already announced his absence from the Tokyo Olympics, where neither will Roberto Bautista (10), Austrian Dominic Thiem, world number five, or Canadian Denis Shapovalov (12).

The Serbian newspaper indicates that number two, Russian Daniil Medvedev, has confirmed his participation in the competition.

Serbian tennis players will participate Miomir Kecmanovic (47), while Dusan Lajovic (41) and Filip Krajinovic (44) have resigned.
