Novak Djokovic and his Olympic partner, Nina Stojanovic, have decided not to appear in the match for the bronze in the mixed doubles, which awards the bronze medal to the Australian pair of Ash Barty and John Peers at Tokyo 2020 without playing.
After spending almost three hours on the court in an absolutely hellish game against Pablo Carreño, Djokovic’s body reached its limit.
A decision in which the Serbian manifested a “left shoulder injury” as an official reason after a brutal attrition in the week: nine matches between singles and mixed doubles, with several days in which he had to double.
“I will try to get to the Olympic Games in Paris and win a medal for my country. I’m sorry to have disappointed my fans, but this is sport, I gave everything, everything I had left in the tank, which was not much, “said the world number one in a press conference.
