Novak Djokovic's hopes of getting that historic Golden Slam have ended. Tokyo2020
’s hopes of completing a historic Golden Slam were ended on Friday as Alexander Zverev stunned the world No. 1.
The German fourth seed reeled off eight games in a row – hitting some sensational winners – after being broken in the second set on his way to a major upset as he booked his spot in the gold medal match against Russia’s Karen Khachanov. Zverev, realising the gravity of the win on his Olympics debut, was left fighting back the tears on court after embracing Djokovic at the net.
But Olympic singles gold has once again evaded him and looks set to be the only thing missing from his trophy-laden tennis CV. He will be 37 when the Paris Olympics take place.
