Tokyo 2020 Tennis: No golden Slam for Djokovic, loses to Zverev in semis

The Hindu  

Alexander Zverev caused an upset of seismic proportions by coming back from a set and a break down to stun Novak Djokovic 1-6, 6-3, 6-1 on Friday, and crushed the Serb’s dream of achieving the ‘golden’ Slam, the herculean feat of winning all four Grand Slam singles titles and the Olympic singles gold. Zverev, meanwhile, can become Germany’s first singles gold medallist since Steffi Graf in 1988, and first-ever men’s singles champion when he meets Russian Karen Khachanov, who registered an easy 6-3, 6-3 win over Spain’s Pablo Carreno Busta. In doubles, the top seeded Croatian pair of Nikola Mektic and Mate Pavic defeated compatriots Marin Cilic and Ivan Dodig 6-4, 3-6, to win the Balkan country’s first-ever Olympic tennis gold. The Kiwi duo of Marcus Daniell and Michael Venus overcame Americans Austin Krajicek and Tennys Sandgren 7-6 6-2 in the bronze medal playoff to secure independent New Zealand’s first-ever tennis medal.
