Djokovic to compete in Tokyo

-

Wimbledon champion Novak Djokovic has confirmed he will compete in this summer’s Olympic Games in Tokyo. Djokovic, who claimed a recordequa­ling 20th men’s Grand Slam title last weekend, had said he was “50-50” about whether he would take part.

On Thursday, however, the 34-year-old posted on Twitter he would be “proudly” joining Team Serbia for the Games in eight days’ time.

He needs to win gold at the Tokyo Olympics and take the US Open singles title in September to become the first male player to achieve the feat.
