The Serbian player was defeated by Germany's Alexander Zverev in three sets.
He won his 20th Grand Slam with his Wimbledon title this month—matching Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal—but had hoped to become the first male tennis player to complete a Golden Slam by winning a gold medal at the Olympic Games in addition to the four majors.
Steffi Graf in 1988 is the only tennis player to achieve the Golden Slam, winning all four Grand Slam tournaments and Olympic gold in the same calendar year. Djokovic's only Olympic medal came in 2008 at the Beijing Games when he won bronze in singles from his first Olympic appearance. He then lost to Juan Martin del Potro of Argentina in his next two Games: in the 2012 bronze-medal match and the first round at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Games.Novak Djokovic of Team Serbia wipes away sweat during his Men's Singles Semifinal match against Alexander Zverev of Team Germany on day seven of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.
