Vest da će Novak Đoković igrati na Olimpijskim igrama odjeknula je svetskim medijima.
Mnogi vrhunski teniseri su otkazali, a posle odustajanja Rodžera Federera i Rafaela Nadala, Novakovo „ne“ bi bio preveliki udarac za tenis u Tokiju.
Ipak, Novak je posle četiri dana odmora, nakon osvajanja Vimbldona, odlučio da krene u Tokio.
Kumovao je odluci i mališan Kođiro, kom je Novak čestitao rođendan uz reči da će doći u Japan.
Rečeno – učinjeno, Novak ima priliku da osvoji zlato i potom napadne US Open, kako bi kompletirao Zlatni slem.
Samo Štefi Graf je 1988. osvojila sva četiri turnira u godini uz Olimpijske igre, pa Novak ima priliku da bude prvi u muškoj konkurenciji.
Svetski mediji su upravo to akcentovali kada su objavili da će Novak igrati u Japanu, BBC je podsetio i na izjavu „da su šanse 50-50“ da nastupi.
Portal Tenis navodi da su odustali još Viktorija Azarenka, Angelika Kerber i Vasek Pospišil, ali je Novak vratio osmeh ljubiteljima ovog sporta.
CNN je najavio napad na Zlatni slem, kao i brojni drugi portali.
