Novak Djokovic

From August 30 to September 12, Novak will try to win the fourth Grand Slam in 2021.

The main reason he will not be at the US Open, but at other tournaments as well until the end of the year, is a foot injury.
"Hello everyone, I want to inform you that unfortunately I will not play anymore this season. Honestly, I have had too many problems with foot injuries in the last year and I have to take a break," Nadal said on Twitter.

World No. 1, after the defeat by Pablo Carreño Busta for bronze in singles, withdrew from the fight for the bronze medal with Nina Stojanovi against the Australians Barty and Pierce.
The reason why Novak could not fight for the medal was also revealed.
Due to a shoulder injury, Novak Djokovic was forced to give up the last match in Tokyo.

World No. 1 lost the semifinal match to the German Alexander Zverev after three sets - 6: 1, 3: 6, 1: 6.
Djokovic will play for the bronze medal in singles, which he won in Beijing in 2008, and his opponent will be Pablo Carreño Busta.

After 70 minutes of play, world no. 1 defeated the 69th player in the world, the Japanese Kei Nishikori, 6: 2, 6: 0.
Thus, the winner of three Grand Slam titles in 2021 approached the big goal, winning gold in Tokyo.
Novak and Kei have not played for a long time, since the quarterfinals of the Australian Open in 2019.

After Hugo Dellien in the first round, Djokovic defeated German tennis player Jan-Lennard Struff in the second round - 6: 4, 6: 3.
The match of the second round at the tennis tournament in Tokyo lasted an hour and 15 minutes.

Olympians from all countries and sports approach Novak to talk, take photos, and even take some of the equipment from him, which does not bother the Serbian ace at all, although it can be hard.
However, Djokovic hangs out with everyone in the village, from Belgian gymnasts, through South American athletes, to giving advice to Serbian and Turkish Olympians.

The competition at the "Ariake" Gymnastics Center will certainly be marked by the world number one's performance, primarily because of the opportunity that presented itself to him - to become the first tennis player with the Golden Slam.

Djokovic will try to win the first gold medal at the Olympic Games, the only one he is missing in his rich tennis career.
He already has a medal from the Games, a bronze from Beijing, while he failed to win any medal in Rio de Janeiro with an early elimination.

Djokovic did it in a video birthday message for a six-year-old tennis player from Japan, Kojiro.
"Happy birthday, Kojiro, my friend. Happy 6th birthday. You look great, I follow your tennis and your progress. All the best, I hope to see you at the Olympic Games in Tokyo," Djokovic sent a congratulations message as a surprise gift.
