| Djokovic lost in three sets in a semifinal match Friday evening in Tokyo, eliminating him from contention for a gold medal. Djokovic was trying to become the first man to win all four Grand Slam tournaments and an Olympic gold in the same year, having already won the Australian Open, the French Open and Wimbledon. The U.S. Open begins next month.
Instead, the Serbian champion will play Pablo Carreño Busta of Spain for a bronze medal. Zverev, representing Germany, will play Karen Khachanov of the Russian Olympic Committee for the gold. |
