London: Serbia’s world No 1 Novak Djokovic said he is still undecided about his participation at the Tokyo Olympic Games, adding that it was a “50-50” thing as there are going to be “a lot of restrictions within the (Games) Village”.
Djokovic, who bagged the singles bronze at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, defeated Italy’s Matteo Berrettini in the final on Sunday to clinch his sixth Wimbledon title and 20th Grand Slam crown overall. By winning the title, the Serb joined Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, the other two members of the Big Three, as the players with the most number of Grand Slam singles titles in the Open Era.
“My plan was always to go to Olympic Games, but right now I’m a little bit divided. I also hear that there’s going to be a lot of restrictions within the Village. Possibly you would not be able to see other athletes perform live. I can’t even have my stringer that is very important part of my team. I can’t have a stringer. I’m limited with the amount of people I can take in my team as well,” said Djokovic during the post-match press conference.
“It’s kind of 50-50 because of what I heard in the last couple days (about the ban on spectators),” added Djokovic, about the possibility of competing in a fourth consecutive Game.
