“I had a chance to win, yesterday and today, in singles and in the mix. But I couldn’t make it,” he told reporters. “The level of my game has dropped, exhaustion, both mental and physical, has been to blame. And pain, unimaginable pain. After the match with Carren, my body just gave up,” he added.
He stated that despite the result failures, he did not regret for a moment that he went to the Olympics. “I believe that everything in life happens for a reason. I have already had several such heartbreaking defeats, at the Olympics and other major tournaments,” said the winner of a record 20 grand slams, who won only one bronze at the Olympics.
In three years, Djokovic wants to try again in Paris. He will be 37 years old. “I will fight again to win more medals for Serbia. I’m sorry I let down a lot of fans here, but it’s just a sport. And just such defeats make me stronger,” he said.
Now he has an attempt to win the calendar Grand Slam, he needs to win the September US Open. “Now, of course, I’m not entirely sure, but this injury (shoulders) will probably not affect it. I put everything into it here, it just doesn’t work differently when you represent,” Djokovic added.
