Djokovic and the hunt for the Golden Slam

After winning the lawn tournament in Wimbledon about the Italian Matteo Berrettini The Serbian exceptional talent's participation in the Olympic Games in Tokyo was initially up in the air. It was a “50:50 decision,” Djokovic said. But now he has made his decision and will travel to Japan. “I have booked my flight to Tokyo and will be a proud part of the Serbian Olympic team.” So far, the Olympics have not been a good place for “Djoker”. The Serb has only been able to win one medal at the Games so far; he won bronze in Beijing in 2008. Whether it will be enough this time remains to be seen. But the chances are not bad, especially since Djokovic will be the only one from the “Big Three” who will start in Tokyo after the cancellations of Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer. Historic chance for the Golden Slam Djokovic could be more attracted by the prospect of the so-called Golden Slam than the medal itself. This rare title feat consists of winning all four Grand Slam tournaments and the Olympic gold medal within one season. After the Australian Open, the French Open and Wimbledon, Djokovic has already won three of the five necessary tournament victories. After the Olympic Games there would be the US Open in September. Such a success for the Serb would definitely be historic; only tennis legend Steffi Graf was able to complete a Golden Slam (1988). The chance of the “Grand Slam” would still exist even after an unsuccessful Olympic Games. This masterpiece, in which you have to win all four Grand Slam tournaments within one season, has only been achieved in men's tennis by the Australian Rod Laver in 1969.
