Due to the ongoing pandemic outbreak, the Tokyo Olympics have many rigid restrictions. Therefore, numerous top-tier players have made the difficult decision to retire, including Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal.
However, determined on his way to the Golden Slam, Novak Djokovic will travel to Japan and try for the gold medal. Previously, the Serbian ace dropped a hint about his plans for the Games when he wished him a young Japanese fan on his sixth birthday.
However, many wondered if the video was before the “closed doors” policy went into effect. Sensing the confusion, Djokovic stepped forward and confirmed his plans for next week.
“I cannot disappoint my little friend Koujirou. I booked my flight to Tokyo and will be proud to join #TeamSerbia for the Olympics, ”Djokovic wrote on Twitter.
Given that Djokovic will be the only member of the 20 Grand Slams club, will his chances at the Games improve? Or will Britain’s Andy Murray take gold for the third time in a row?
Federer is on the official entry list for the National Bank Open
For his part, Roger Federer was recently seen in Croatia.
He visited a tennis center where he came across a girl playing. He found his forehand quite impressive and gave him some words of encouragement. The girl’s mother was speechless and could not believe what she had just witnessed.
The girl’s mother, named Sara Kralle, stated: “With such a strong forehand, you have a really bright future to beat everyone who crosses your path” – @rogerfederer WOW, I am speechless.
It was surreal meeting the greatest tennis player of all time today. The man with the most unique style of play on the tennis courts ???? ???? + these words coming from a professional like him, mean a lot to me to advance even stronger and be even better !!!
THANK YOU Federer, it was a pleasure meeting you, I will never forget this wonderful day !!! Federer, currently ranked No. 9 in the world, is on the official entry list for the National Bank Open.
