Tokyo 2020: Novak Djokovic confirms he will compete at Olympic Games

Wimbledon champion Novak Djokovic has confirmed he will compete in this summer's Olympic Games in Tokyo.

Djokovic, who claimed a record-equalling 20th men's Grand Slam title last weekend, had said he was "50-50" about whether he would take part.

On Thursday, however, the 34-year-old posted on Twitter he would be "proudly" joining Team Serbia for the Games in eight days' time.

He added: "I booked my flight for Tokyo."

Djokovic said after retaining his Wimbledon crown that he was undecided about appearing at the Tokyo Games after it was announced fans would not be allowed to attend because of a spike in coronavirus infections.
