The number 1 of the ATP ranking, Novak Djokovic, has come out to apologize after his defeat against the Spanish Pablo Carreño (6-3, 6-7 and 6-4) in the match that decided the bronze medal in Tokyo 2020. Serbian explained after the game that he was physically ill having “several injuries, not one”.

Novak has excused himself and said that he played these games medicated, with “a lot of pain” and has announced his resignation to compete for the bronze medal in the mixed doubles with his partner Nina Stojanovic. Thus ends a disappointing passage for the Serbian through Tokyo 2020 in which he has not achieved any persea.
