One of the most striking images that leave the 2016 Olympic Games are the disconsolate tears Novak Djokovic after falling eliminated in first round men's tennis tournament against Juan Martin Del Potro. The world number one not to accumulate Grand Slams and titles on the circuit, but in Rio adds his third Olympic disappointment. And that hurts more than any other
To be the number one favorite and practically have secured gold on his shoulders, to fall eliminated first of change against a team depleted by injuries and over had to live moments of tension hours before the game by being locked in an elevator inside the Olympic Village.
But this is tennis, and so are the Olympic Games , the only competition that has always escaped the Serbian . Are worthless his 12 Grand Slam or have reached Rio 2016 winning with authority Masters 1000 Toronto. Del Potro was surprised, it was better. And point. And this new Olympic disappointment made Nole down to earth for the first time since he is the absolute master of world tennis.
The Olympics are not for him . Although it can boast a bronze medal won in Beijing 2008, at that time the frustration came over him when sent to an overhead network in the semifinal against Rafa Nadal , who could have made it very close to winning the match and put him in the end. He also was in tears.
And in London, Juan Martin Del Potro also left him without metal to win the consolation final. In semis he fell to an Andy Murray that ultimately would be Olympic champion in the Wimbledon grass. Novak Djokovic will have to wait until 2020 Tokyo.
