Injured Djokovic leaves Tokyo Olympics empty-handed

World number one tennis player lost the singles bronze play-off to Busta before withdrawing from mixed doubles.

World number one Novak Djokovic will leave Tokyo Olympics empty-handed after losing the singles bronze-medal play-off to Pablo Carreno Busta on Saturday before withdrawing from his mixed doubles bronze match due to injury. World number 11 Busta wasted a match point in the second-set tiebreak but the Spaniard never looked back after taking a quick 3-0 lead in the third for a 6-4, 6-7, 6-3 victory in two hours 47 minutes when Djokovic hit a forehand into the net on a sixth match point. Djokovic then scratched the mixed doubles he was to contest with fellow Serbian Nina Stojanovic, with organisers stating a left shoulder injury.
