Djokovic stated, “I won the bronze in my first Olympic Games (2008) and ever since then failed to win a medal, playing three out of four Olympic Games in semifinals and couldn’t overcome that obstacle. And then now, at age 37, with a 21-year-old who is probably the best player in the world right now, winning Roland Garros and Wimbledon back-to-back and playing incredible tennis.”
