He secured 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.Djokovic, 34, is yet to get an Olympic gold, his best being a 2008 bronze, and promised to try again in three years.“Opportunities missed both in doubles and singles. I didn’t deliver yesterday and today, the level of tennis dropped, also due to exhaustion, mentally and physically.“I know that I will bounce back.
His bid for a golden slam also ended in Friday’s singles semi-final loss against German Alexander Zverev.
