Meanwhile, Djokovic after beating Hugo Dellien in the opening round, also managed to see off the challenge of Jan-Lennard Struff in straight sets in the second round. The top seed is into the third round where he will take on Spaniard Alejandro Fokina.

I am full of confidence and motivated to represent Serbia in the best possible way,” Djokovic said according to Olympics.com. “I am yearning for a medal in Tokyo, hopefully gold, and then I’ll go to New York aiming to complete it all.”
