China News Service, Beijing, July 16th. With the approach of the Tokyo Olympics, athletes will continue to travel to Japan.
But to this day, the participants of the tennis event are still not fully determined.
For women, three-time Grand Slam champion Kobel and two-time Grand Slam champion Azarenka withdrew one after another, while Djokovic officially confirmed the participation in the men's arena.
Three-time Grand Slam champion and silver medalist at the 2016 Rio Olympics, Kobel, said that after several weeks of fierce fighting, she needs to rest and recover, so she will not participate in the Tokyo Olympics.
Two-time Grand Slam winner Azarenka announced on social platforms that she will not participate in the Tokyo Olympics due to the challenges brought about by the epidemic, but looks forward to returning to the Olympics in 2024.
Data map: On June 13, local time, the top seed and world number one Djokovic played against Sisipas in the men's singles final of the French Open.
Djokovic was two sets behind in the start and won three consecutive sets in the following games. In the end, he reversed Sisipas 3:2 and won the French Open men's singles championship.
At this point, Djokovic became the first "Double Slam" in men's tennis.
For men, Swiss king Federer has previously announced that he will withdraw from the Tokyo Olympics due to a knee injury.
But fortunately, another men's tennis legend Djokovic decided to participate.
Djokovic, who has just won the 20th Grand Slam champion, announced on social media that he has booked a flight to Tokyo and will play in the Olympic Games that will open next week.
Before this, Xiaode said: "I am very motivated to participate in the Olympics and fight for medals. It is the highest honor for me to represent the country."
If he can win the men's singles gold medal, he will become the second player to unlock the "Gold Slam" in the active men's tennis.
