Novak Djokovic spent the past year making tennis look easy. Friday in Tokyo, the sport got suddenly difficult for the World No. 1, and he lost a chance at a men’s singles “Golden Slam,” writes jasongay.
That’s what I thought, watching Novak Djokovic crumble in Tokyo: He’s made a difficult sport look unfairly effortless for too long of a time.he’s played in this year, and the 34-year-old from Serbia will be the favorite next month when the U.S. Open begins in New York City, one title away from being the first man since Rod Laver to win all four majors in a calendar year.
He’s a player without a pronounced weakness, his endurance is unmatched, and he’s an absolute nightmare when he gets in a jam. Djokovic pulls himself out of trouble so routinely, it’s gotten to the point it’s a shock when he doesn’t—but that’s exactly what happened here Friday, versus Alexander Zverev in the Olympic men’s singles semifinal.
