Serbian tennis player Novak Djokovic withdrew today from the mixed doubles match where he was opting for the bronze medal at the Tokyo Games due to injury, shortly after falling in the singles match for third place against the Spanish Pablo Carreño.
Djokovic, who was a couple with his compatriot Nina Stojanovic, could not appear in the match that was going to face the Australians Ashleigh barty Y John peers, with which the latter took the bronze.
The reason was “a shoulder injury” suffered by the world’s number one tennis player, as explained by the International Tennis Federation through its official Twitter account.
