Novak Djokovic says he will compete in Tokyo Olympics, meaning the Golden Slam is still in play
CNN
World No. 1 Novak Djokovic announced on social media on Thursday that he will compete in the Tokyo Olympics.
"I booked my flight for Tokyo and will proudly be joining #TeamSerbia for the Olympics," Djokovic said in a tweet. Djokovic, who has won the Australian Open, the French Open and Wimbledon this year, has the chance to become the first man to win a so-called Golden Slam should he win the singles gold medal in Tokyo and later the US Open in New York. The only tennis player to have won all four majors and Olympic gold in a calendar year is Steffi Graf, when she accomplished the feat in 1988.More Related News
