No Golden Slam: Djokovic In Shock Olympics Semifinal Defeat, As Zverev Wins by Nobody: 11:41am On Jul 30, 2021
The highest-ranked tennis player in the world, Novak Djokovic has been eliminated in the semi-final of the ongoing Tokyo 2020 Olympics.

Djokovic who lost to Alexander Zverev of Germany 1-6, 3-6, 6-1, was attempting to be the first man to achieve the Golden Slam by winning all four major Grand Slams and Olympics Gold in the same year.

The unplayable Serb had earlier won the Australian Open, Rolland Garros and recently the Wimbledon, with only the Olympics Gold and US Open titles to spare.

Only the legendary Steffi Graf has achieved the Golden Slam, having won all four major Grand Slams as well as the Olympics Gold in Seoul '88.

RETIRE AND GO AND SPEND YOUR HUGE DOLLARS.

You are still not willing to go.

Then continue to remain and see YOUNG BOYS defeat you left and right.

Things like this happens in sports.. just like lionel messi was aiming to win a major trophy with his National side in the past years with all efforts proving futile. He finally triumph at the end.
Age might not be on Djokovic side, but with persistency he'll surely triumph.

Zverev lost to Dominic Thiem in last year US Open final after going two set up, it was a sad day for him, he deserve to win a major tournament hopefully he will come through with this if he doesn't have to face Federer, Nadal or Tsitsipas in the finals

Federer is older than Djokovic....he is still playing.

On the women's side, S.Williams is older than Djokovic, and is also still playing.
